Acrobat security issue

Adobe announced today that Acrobat and Acrobat Reader (all versions since version 7) are vulnerable to a Javascript exploit that can crash Acrobat.

Adobe is planning to release updates to Adobe Reader and Acrobat to resolve the security issue. It expects to update Adobe Reader 9 and Acrobat 9 by March 11th, 2009. Updates for prior versions of Adobe Reader and Acrobat will follow soon after.

If you're worried about this exploit right now you should turn off Javascript support in the preferences settings.
