A bug in Adobe’s Reader and Acrobat software, which was discovered last month by researcher Charlie Miller, will soon be fixed and an emergency patch too, will be soon issued, says Adobe.

The bug was disclosed during Black Hat security conference, while Charlie Miller was bust representing and telling everyone about the open-source BitBlaze toolkit and the procedure that could be helpful in boosting bug-hunting productivity to 10-fold.

An analyst with Baltimore-based Independent Security Evaluators, the Miller is quite famous for detection of vulnerabilities in Adobe's popular Reader PDF viewer.

There have been some cases when, the miller, had come up with some probable bugs in Reader, Apple's Preview and Microsoft Office.

"This can be exploited to corrupt memory via a PDF file containing a specially-crafted TrueType font. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code”, said Danish vulnerability tracker Secunia.

Adobe has now announced the release of a security update, in the week of Aug. 16-20, which would not only fix the bugs discovered by Miller, but take care of all other vulnerabilities.

Some of the vulnerability traits of Adobe are similar to those being used to ‘jailbreak’ Apple's iOS mobile operating system as both entail font parsing errors. Adobe however says that these are not linked in any ways.

This hopefully will not affect the next major upgrade to the program, says Adobe.
