Adobe yesterday patched a critical vulnerability in the Windows utility used
to download the company's two most popular products, Adobe Reader and Flash
Player.
It was the second time in the last six weeks that Adobe fixed a flaw in
Download Manager, the program it installs on PCs when customers download Reader
or Flash Player.
The bug, Adobe acknowledged in an advisory, "potentially allow[s] an attacker
to download and install unauthorized software onto a user's system."
