I found it on the Photoshop page, but it looks like it applies to all of Creative Suite 2 for both PC and Mac. Based on the description this problem is on systems shared by multiple users, not an internet connected issue.

Windows Download (Photoshop CS2 only):

Security Advisory: File permissions vulnerability in Adobe Creative Suite 2 (Windows, Mac OS)

Release Date: February 2, 2006

Products: Adobe Creative Suite 2, Adobe Photoshop CS2, Adobe Illustrator CS2

Platform: Windows, Mac OS

Vulnerability Identifier: APSB06-01

Overview: Adobe has been made aware that the file and folder permissions for Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, and Adobe Help Center can permit non-privileged users to change key program files. This condition presents a risk for shared, multi-user systems. Adobe is providing update utilities which correct these access permission issues and prevent manipulation of the program files by non-privileged users. Adobe recommends that customers using CS2 products on shared systems apply these updates.

Effect: If exploited, this vulnerability could allow a hostile user to replace these program files with malicious or harmful code that could read, write, or destroy sensitive data if subsequently run by a privileged user.

Details: The identified vulnerability allows non-privileged users permission to change key program files. This condition presents a risk for shared, multi-user systems. On such systems, a hostile user could take advantage of this condition to replace these program files with malicious or harmful code that could read, write, or destroy sensitive data if subsequently run by a privileged user.

Severity: Adobe categorizes this issue as an important issue and recommends that users patch their installations.

Already covered in this thread. The problem I mentioned there is still present - the instructions say that the Windows patcher is digitally signed by Adobe, but it is not. I'll try to ring Adobe to tell them this.
