Adobe has released details of critical patches to be released next week, covering Reader 9.3.4 for Windows, Macintosh and Unix, Acrobat 9.3.4 for Windows and Macintosh, and Reader 8.2.4 and Acrobat 8.2.4 for Windows and Macintosh.
Also included is a critical patch for Adobe Flash Player 10.1.82.76 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris.
"The 5 October updates represent an accelerated release of the next quarterly security update originally scheduled for 12 October," said the company in a security advisory.
"With this accelerated schedule, Adobe will not release additional updates for Adobe Reader and Acrobat on 12 October."
Adobe has been increasing the frequency with which it patches security holes in light of sustained attacks from hackers on its applications.
Security experts at the Virus Bulletin 2010 conference this week said that Adobe is now the main target for hackers, as they have moved from operating systems to third-party applications.
