Adobe Reader Vulnerability Results In Out-Of-Cycle Update [blogs.adobe.com]

We have just posted Security Advisory APSA11-04 regarding a new vulnerability (CVE-2011-2462) that is currently being exploited in the wild in limited, targeted attacks against Adobe Reader 9.4.6 on Windows.

Focusing this release on just Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x for Windows also allows us to ship the update much earlier. We are conscious of the upcoming holidays and are working to get this patch out as soon as possible to allow time to deploy the update before users and staff begin time off. Ultimately the decision comes down to what we can do to best mitigate threats to our customers.
