Of the 14 vulnerabilities, five are deemed “critical” and nine “important”. Vulnerabilities discussed this month include attacks that could be triggered by specially configured PNG files or Adobe fonts. That reminds us that any sort of code, no matter how innocuous-sounding, is potentially vulnerable. And yes, you’ll be rebooting.
