Adobe posts 8.1.1 updates for Acrobat, Reader to close security vulnerability

Adobe Systems has posted a patch for versions 8.1.0 of its Acrobat family (Professional, Standard and 3D) and free Adobe Reader that addresses a potential security vulnerability (affecting Windows XP users with Internet Explorer 7 installed), and addresses several other issues for both Windows and Macintosh users. The 8.1.1 updater, available for download (multiple languages) from Adobe.com and soon also available from the automatic product update feature within both products, updates version 8.1.0 of the mentioned products and corrects issues identified in both 8.1 and 8.0, according to the company. A full 8.1.1 English version of Adobe Reader is also available for download.

The 8.1.1 updater closes a recently reported security vulnerability on the Windows platform. According to Adobe, some cross-platform corrections include the resolution of several PDF-forms-related issues and the removal of the FedEx Kinko’s menu item. Adobe recommends that all Acrobat and Reader users apply the 8.1.1 updates.

    […] The Acrobat 8.1 clients will not see this as an update via the auto-update process (not sure why). That would be because it’s coming soon - Kurt Foss over at Acro bytes tell us and soon also available from the automatic product update feature. […]
