Skeletons in Adobe's security closet

How many of you out there, perform a computer restart when you are prompted to do so after a software installation or update (unless forced to)? Well, if you're guilty of not doing so, you may seriously want to consider doing so from now onwards.

Some findings revealed:

"While it is true that the Adobe Download Manager is removed upon computer restart, the user, who has just updated their Adobe product (usually without the requirement to restart the computer after the update), is still exposed to forced automatic installation until they restart their computer."

"On the same day I published my last blog post, I found yet another issue — a remote code execution flaw in the Adobe Download Manager. Basically, what I found is that an attacker can force an automatic download and installation of ANY executable he desires. So, if you go to Adobe’s website to install a security update for Flash, you really expose yourself to a zero-day attack."
