New Adobe CRITICAL Security Updates Acrobat Pro and Reader 11 0 03

-
[Updated 2013-05-21 @8:38 AM: I removed the paragraphs and image regarding a low resolution icon for Adobe Reader. What I had witnessed was, I have discovered, yet another bug in Apples Finder application. Ive witnessed the exact same phenomenon with other newly installed apps. Refreshing or relaunching the Finder removes the problem. Not good Apple! Apologies to Adobe.]

On schedule, Adobe has posted critical security updates of both Acrobat Pro and Reader. The download links are below.

Thankfully, Adobe has (belatedly) provided an updated Security Bulletin as well, which is also linked below. The updates patch 27 security vulnerabilities.

2. Type "uname -rm" at the console to know the kernel version and processor type.

3. Go to the website "http://www.linux-ntfs.org/content/view/187/" and download the RPM package for NTFS driver relevant to your Linux kernel .

4. After downloading the driver go to the directory where you have downloaded the RPM directory and type "rpm -ivh kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.XX-XXXXXXXX.rpm" to install the driver.

2. Installing Real Player 10 and Adobe Acrobat Reader

1. Fedora Core 5 uses GCC 4.1 , Now many applications including Real player 10 and Adobe Acrobat 7.0 requires GCC 3.2 as they were compiled on these libraries hence for compatibility installation of this library is necessary.

GCC 3.2 Can be found on CD-3 of Fedora Core 5 , DVD or online

2. These Files are
compat-libstdc -33
compat-libstdc -296

3. To Install it using automatic yum package manager type" yum install compat-libstdc -33 compat-libstdc -296" after logging in Super User mode or after "su " at console

4. The library can also be downloaded as rpm from "http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora/5/i386/compat-libstdc -33-3.2.3-55.fc5.i386.html" After downloading it can be installed as "rpm -ivh compatXXXXXX.rpm" after logging in super user mode.

Correction: From Threatpost, Adobe Patches One Zero Day in Flash, Still Investigating Separate Vulnerability:

"The vulnerability that Adobe patched Thursday is under active attack, but Adobe officials said that this flaw is not the one that security researcher Kafeine said Wednesday was being used in the Angler attacks."

The Threatpost article further indicated that there is no indication from Adobe officials that an update is in the works for the Angler zero-day vulnerability.

Adobe officials did not say whether there is an update in the works for the zero-day vulnerability. - See more at: http://threatpost.com/adobe-patches-one-zero-day-in-flash-still-investigating-separate-vulnerability#sthash.l1CqIaAn.dpuf

On Vacation but Java updates from Oracle and Apple Be sure to have the UNmessed up Apple Java update!!! and Adobe Flash Update

Im on a break while I work on other things. But here is some quickie news. I expect, if youre a regular reader, you know how to dig up the URLs and CVE reports by now.

I) MASSIVE CRITICAL Java update from both Oracle and Apple, including 40 (FORTY) security patches. Apples update is for Java version 1.6 only, the part of Java included in OS X. The update is for OS X 10.6 - 10.8.

II) Apple MESSED-UP their original Java update release, which was labeled "JavaForOSX2013-003". This mess KILLED Java and must be updated with what replaced it: "JavaForOSX2013-004". From my experience, Software Update did NOT provide me with the updated version. I had to grab oo4 myself and apply it myself. You may have to do so as well.

Here is an article to help you sort out whether you got STUNG by Apples mess or not, and how to clean it up. Thank you to 9to5Mac.com:

Bug in Apple Java update – now fixed, but check you have the correct version

III) Adobe tossed out a scheduled Flash update that patched one critical security hole. If you use Flash any more, be sure you have applied this latest update.

OTHER AMUSING NEWS:

Im running into hilarious FUD about the MacKeeper crapware from none other than one of their competitors. They claim you can REMOVE crappy MacKeeper by installing THEIR crappy software instead. Needless to say, avoid replacing crap with crap. If you foolishly installed MacKeeper, go to their website to learn how to UNinstall it.

Also amusing: Apparently crappy MacKeeper has been sold to some other company, who apparently have changed none of crappy ZeoBITs evil marketing moron tactics. But at least it is good to know that everyones efforts to kick ZeoBIT in the dangly bits has been successful. ZeoBIT is now out of the picture, hurray. Lets hope their crapware is soon to follow.

Also note: There has been a rash of Microsoft Office specific malware. I personally dont care or follow such malware. Youre on your own if you still put up with Microsoft. But its worth noting that Office malware continues. Check out my net buddy Thomas Reeds The Safe Mac security blog for details. I believe Intego and Sophos have been following this scourge as well. Links to their sites are on the right of this page.

Enjoy the summer!

Stay cool.

Stay kewl.
