Adobe Systems announced that it will patch a flaw in Reader revealed at the Black Hat security conference tomorrow in an emergency update.
The update will cover critical bugs affecting Adobe Reader and Acrobat, including one revealed by Charles Miller, principal security analyst with consulting firm Independent Security Evaluators, at the conference last month. The bug is due to an integer overflow, and can be used by attackers to compromise a system.
