Adobe Reader X 10.1

Adobe Reader 10.1 is verschenen. In deze uitgave van de meestgebruikte pdf lezer worden 15 kritieke beveiligingslekken gerepareerd. Dankzij de sandbox in Adobe Reader X (10) vormden de meeste van deze lekken niet direct een gevaar, omdat ze eerst door de protected mode heen zouden moeten breken voordat ze schade kunnen aanrichten.

Adobe Reader 10.1 is te verkrijgen voor Windows en Mac OS X. Wanneer een Linux-versie verschijnt is nog onbekend. Een volgende ronde met beveiligingsupdates voor Adobe Reader staat gepland voor september - elk kwartaal, tenzij er dringende updates noodzakelijk zijn.
