Adobe released updates to three security vulnerabilities yesterday, where they address critical vulnerabilities that exists in older versions of the Adobe CS suite products.  As Adobe states “We are in the process of resolving the vulnerabilities addressed in these Security Bulletins in Adobe Illustrator CS5.x, Adobe Photoshop CS5.x (12.x) and Adobe Flash Professional CS5.x, and will update the respective Security Bulletins once the patches are available”. 

The update released by Adobe can be found here, and the individual vulnerabilities are listed below

Adobe Illustrator CS5.5
Adobe Photoshop CS5
Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5.1

These vulnerabilities are all of the critical nature, which if exploited could lead to a compromise of the system, without user interaction.  This vulnerability exists for both the Mac and Windows versions of the software.  So be on the lookout for more updates for older version of the Adobe CS suite.
