Here's what you need to know:
- The flaw affects all currently supported shipping versions of Adobe Reader and Acrobat (Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.1, 8.1.4, and 7.1.1 and earlier versions).
- Adobe plans to provide updates for all affected versions for all platforms (Windows, Macintosh and Unix) to resolve this issue.
Mitigation instructions:
- Launch Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
- Select Edit>Preferences
- Select the JavaScript Category
- Uncheck the ‘Enable Acrobat JavaScript’ option
- Click OK
Or, in the interest of diversity, you should consider an alternative product.
