Has anyone seen this:

Pretty ironic, considering the AdobeLM service is bypassed
in most hacked versions of CS I've come across so far.

Thanks.
I wonder why such an important update isn't distributed via the
Adobe Updater service.

so registered legit users are vulnerable to security flaws and warez users
are not?
wonder if they'll put that in their new marketing literature.

Yes, at least in CS.

I'm not surprised it happened, nor will it be the last security
breach caused by Adobe.

CS & CS2 bypass all Windows security and administration
standards (e.g. the AdobeLM service starts itself, not only
without admin approval or notification, but even when it's
explicitly disabled), and also writes a disk signature to a
reserved sector of your hard drive, potentially overwriting
partition tables, boot sectors etc. and trashing the entire
drive.
