Not like your puter is trashed evey time some flaw is discovered. Good info to know but some people dwell on the fact that this and that can get through for a small period of time on any operating system or add on. I have been using puters and working on commercial puter systems since the 8080 before the co processor and have seen minimal problems as long as normal basic precautions are followed.
So don't freak out and start with the windowz sux crap.

The out-of-cycle Adobe Reader and Acrobat patch released on Tuesday has failed to remedy an issue that could allow an attacker to run malicious code, according to a Vietnamese security company.
The version 9.3.3 update for the PDF software products was designed to plug several security problems, including one connected with the Launch dialogue box that could coax a user into opening an embedded executable file. Belgian security researcher Didier Stevens, who reported the issue to Adobe in March, confirmed in a blog post following the release of the patch that the problem was fixed.
However, according to Bach Khoa Internetwork Security centre (Bkis), the update has failed to fully remedy the issue, which Vietnamese antivirus provider said is being used by viruses in attacks. In a post on the Bkis security blog, senior security researcher Le Manh Tung argued that the fix could still be circumvented.

Thanks to poisoned ad networks, this isn't much of a guarantee anymore. Good luck with that.
