Adobe Acrobat and Acrobat Reader Security Flaws Fixed

This short article at Techworld.com gives all the details about which versions need patching. Basically, you're going to have to upgrade, which you can do via the facility on the Acrobat or Acrobat Reader toolbar or by downloading manually. This affects virtually ALL PLATFORMS so you Mac and Linux users can't feel smug about this one.

As it's not taking the bad guys any time at all to produce exploits once the existence of a vulnerability is made public, I advise you to go patch right now. Don't wait around. I've patched all our machines, Window and Linux, and many versions of the reader with nary a hitch, so I don't think there is anything to be wary of with this one.
