"Adobe has updated its Acrobat and Adobe Reader programs to fix what the company is calling "critical vulnerabilities" in its PDF creation application and free PDF viewer."
Adobe says this fixes "about" 13 critical vulnerabilities in Reader and Acrobat. The official name of the vulnerability is the CVE-2009-1492 and causes applications to crash, as well as potentially allowing someone to take control of the system that is affected. If you have Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.1, you need to upgrade with these updates that were released on Tuesday. You can download Adobe Reader 9.1.2 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.1.2 at Adobe.
