SAN FRANCISCO — Adobe Systems Inc., the world’s biggest maker of graphic-design software, is working to fix a flaw affecting earlier versions of its Acrobat Reader software that may let hackers steal information. The security hole, which affects Adobe Reader running on the Firefox browser, lets hackers attach code to otherwise-legitimate documents found on commercial websites. That tampered link may direct users to fraudulent websites seeking bank account, credit card and other confidential information. Adobe Reader 8, which became available in November, isn’t affected.
