Corrine Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Adobe released Security Advisory (APSA13-02) related to critical security vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader and Acrobat XI (11.0.01 and earlier), X (10.1.5 and earlier) and 9.5.3 and earlier for Windows and Macintosh. The vulnerabilities are being exploited in the wild. In order to minimize vulnerability it is recommended Windows users of Adobe Reader and Acrobat ensure that Protected View is enabled. Unfortunately, neither the Protected Mode or Protected View option is available for Macintosh users. To enable this setting, do the following: Click Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced) menu. Change the "Off" setting to "All Files". Ensure the "Enable Enhanced Security" box is checked. See the above illustrated as well as and additional information about the vulnerabilities in my blog post at Critical Security Advisory for Adobe Reader and Acrobat (APSA13-02). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrine Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Adobe is just copying Microsoft employees when they post in public forums -- a CYA thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
