This month’s Adobe Patch Tuesday release sees fixes for Flash Player, Acrobat and Reader. All vulnerabilities get the highest priority rating. This means future exploits are likely.

CVE-2014-0493, CVE-2014-0495 and CVE-2014-0496 affect Acrobat and Reader. These CVEs also concern remote code execution vulnerabilities. All of this month’s vulnerabilities were reported to Adobe directly.
