Apple Thoughts: Adobe Reader Security Update

"A critical vulnerability has been identified in Adobe Reader 9.1 and Acrobat 9.1 and earlier versions. This vulnerability (CVE-2009-1492) would cause the application to crash and could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system. A second vulnerability has also been reported that appears to affect Adobe Reader for UNIX only (CVE-2009-1493)."

Several versions of the software are affected but Adobe is offering updates to fix new and old. If you have Adobe Reader 9.1 and Acrobat 9.1, or earlier standard or pro versions, head on over to Adobe and download the fix. They have downloads to fix Windows, OS X and Unix systems all on the same page so you folks that have multiple systems can get the right fix from one page, or at least get directed to the right page.
