Adobe Acrobat Reader Vulnerabilities v25.001.21111

We’re on the latest reader version that I’m aware of and still have Windows Defender showing the following:

openssl 3.0.18.0 'c:\program files (x86)\adobe\acrobat reader dc\reader\rdrtools\libcrypto-3.dll'

openssl 3.4.3.0 'c:\program files (x86)\adobe\acrobat reader dc\reader\plug_ins\libcrypto-3.dll', 'c:\program files (x86)\adobe\acrobat reader dc\reader\plug_ins\libssl-3.dll'

Do you have a way of fixing these vulnerabilities in the program that is using older OpenSSL libraries?

    @accesss Yes, the latest Acrobat Reader (25.001.21111) version (https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/ReleaseNotesDC/index.html) is probably the first and most important step. If Adobe has already shipped a build that updates or replaces those OpenSSL libraries, updating the application is the only legitimate fix. If Defender continues to flag the older OpenSSL DLLs—unfortunately, there is nothing you can do locally to “fix” the vulnerability, you just have to wait until Adobe fixes it.

    .Thanks! 25.001.21151 was released but shows no security fixes with it unfortunately.
