Critical Updates for Adobe Reader, Acrobat
Summary: Adobe released a critical update for its PDF Reader and Acrobat software to patch at least two security holes, one of which was publicly disclosed earlier in the month, bringing Windows, Mac and UNIX versions to v. 9.4.1. Adobe also warned users about phishing and other email scams targeting customers seeking the new Acrobat X product, noting the messages were not sent by or on behalf of Adobe.
What you should know: The UNIX update was not yet available and was expected November 30, 2010, while the sandboxed Reader X (v 10.0) was still slated for release at the end of the month - leaving a window in which a publicly disclosed flaw had a patch path that did not cover every platform.
