“Poor Adobe, they’re just not doing well with security
lately. No sooner do they patch a bunch of serious Adobe Flash
Player security bugs, than another zero-day exploit is unveiled.
This time Adobe Reader and Acrobat are the targets, and regardless
of whether you’re running Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows, you’re
vulnerable.“What makes this even worse is that, like Flash, almost everyone
uses Adobe Reader to read PDF (Portable Document Format) files. So,
in short, almost everyone could be tripped up by this security
hole.“Symantec staffer, Joji Hamada, uncovered this newest Adobe bug
just in time for the holidays. Hamanda reported that “We received a
tip from a source that there is a possible Adobe Reader and Acrobat
0-day vulnerability in the wild. We have indeed confirmed the
existence of a 0-day vulnerability in these products.”
