From the Adobe website:

"Adobe License Management Service update

This update addresses a potential vulnerability in the Adobe License
Management Service, which is installed with various Adobe products
that require product activation. It affects only computers running
Windows. [...]

The vulnerability exists due to a flaw in the installation of the
License Management Service, which can lead to an unauthorized person
gaining access to the user's computer. The unauthorized person can
exploit this vulnerability to run a program with administrator
privileges."

I would never download something that did not come directly from Adobe. This
sounds like a virus or worm program could result if this link were clicked.

Good catch. It doesn't apply to CS2, that was already fixed/changed:

Did you look at the URL? This /is/ directly from Adobe.

Since you snipped the quote, I can't tell what you think you're on
about; but the URL posted in the message you're responding to *is* at
Adobe.
