Adobe issued its first regularly-scheduled security updates on Tuesday, fixing at least 13 critical flaws reported by outside researchers and secretly patching an unspecified number of bugs found by its own team.
Today's update to Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat comes three weeks after the company said it had revamped its security practices, and would root out vulnerabilities in old code, speed up its patching process and release regular security updates for the often-attacked PDF applications.
