If you’re an Adobe Reader and Acrobat user, you may have been on edge for the past month with the recent PDF attacks. Well, you’ll be happy to know that the patch is now available for Reader, Acrobat 9 Pro, Standard and Extended for both Windows and Macintosh versions.
Important information to know:
*Updates for Adobe Reader 7 and 8, and Acrobat 7 and 8 are slated for release by March 18.
*The Adobe Reader 9.1 update for Unix will be out by March 25.
*Users with versions 7 and 8 of Adobe Reader and Acrobat, who can’t update their software should more information on immediate protection for this issue from anti-virus and security vendors is available on the Adobe Product Security Incident Response Team blog.
Although the fix may secure your PDF software, it might not do anything to fix your failing sense of security in Adobe software.
