In case you are not aware of the Acrobat/Adobe Reader 0-day there is more

"Adobe is planning to release updates to Adobe Reader and Acrobat to
resolve the relevant security issue. Adobe expects to make available an
update for Adobe Reader 9 and Acrobat 9 by March 11th, 2009."

But users of 8.x and older versions have to wait.

There is a backdoot Trojan exploiting the issue in the wild.

Note: All platforms are reportedly affected.


Actually, there are now _several_ exploits for this vulnerability... and
growing in number fast.
