Other Patch Tuesday Updates (Adobe, Apple)
Adobe released two bulletins today:
APSB13-24: Security update for RoboHelp
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb13-24.html
I don't remember seeing a pre-anouncement for this one. The update fixes an arbitrary code execution vulnerability (CVE-2013-5327) . Robohelp is only available for Window.
APSB13-25: Security update for Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb13-25.html
This update fixes a problem that was introduced in a recent update and effects Javascript security controls. As a result, only version 11.0.4 appears affected, no earlier versions. Only the Windows version of these Adobe tools are affected.
Apple released iTunes 11.1.1 today. The respective security page has not yet been updated, but expect a link to the security content of this update within the next day or so. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222 . This update only affects Windows. Patches for iTunes on OS X are usually released as part of OS X updates.
Did I miss any?
