Critical Update for Adobe Reader & Acrobat
Summary: Adobe released a security update for its Acrobat and PDF Reader products that fixes at least eight critical vulnerabilities in the Mac and Windows versions. Adobe said it is not aware of exploits or active attacks in the wild against any of the flaws addressed in this update.
Key Takeaway: Eight critical flaws in a PDF reader that opens files from email, the web, and the IRS or DMV means the patch is the only thing standing between a malicious document and the desktop - and Adobe's own update check reportedly failed to flag the new version on some installations.
