Adobe gives marketers AI-based tools to use customers' data in real time
The software giant said the updates are focused primarily on email, which remains one of the key channels in a marketer's arsenal.
Adobe's monthly patch update is now available and fixes a handful of vulnerabilities in Flash, ColdFusion, and Campaign Classic.
The June round of fixes released by the tech giant focuses on patching problems which could lead to arbitrary code execution in the software.
In Adobe Flash, a single vulnerability has been resolved for software versions 32.0.0.192 and earlier on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS.
The bug, CVE-2019-7845, is a use-after-free security flaw which can lead to code execution if exploited.

Three vulnerabilities -- CVE-2019-7838, CVE-2019-7839, and CVE-2019-7840 have been patched in Adobe ColdFusion 11, 2016, and 2018. The file extension blacklist bypass, command injection, and deserialization of untrusted data error could all lead to arbitrary code execution if left unresolved.
In addition, seven vulnerabilities have been smoothed over in Adobe Campaign Classic, software which is not a common participant in Adobe's patch updates. Versions 18.10.5-8984 and earlier on Windows and Linux machines are affected.
The single critical issue in the batch, CVE-2019-7850, is a command injection bug which can lead to arbitrary code execution.
Five other vulnerabilities, CVE-2019-7843, CVE-2019-7941, CVE-2019-7846, CVE-2019-7848, and CVE-2019-7849 can all be exploited for the purposes of information disclosure, and CVE-2019-7847 provides read access to the file system.
