< a href="http://www.adobe.com">Adobe Systems released late Tuesday Acrobat 7.0.3 in its Standard and Professional versions, as well as an update to Acrobat Reader.
These releases address a plug-in buffer overflow in Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader, the company said. If a malicious file were opened it could trigger a buffer overflow as the file is being loaded into Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader. A buffer overflow can cause the application to crash and increase the risk of malicious code execution. The updates also add improved security.
The updates require version 7.0.2 to work.
