Security Bugs with Acrobat and Adobe Reader

Adobe says that Acrobat 7 and the Adobe Reader 7 have a number of critical bugs that need to be fixed. Attackers may be able to design a malicious PDF file that takes advantage of these to take control of your computer. Users of the free Adobe Reader 7 need to upgrade to the free Reader 8 at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html. Users of Acrobat 7.x should see the fix information at http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb06-20.html.
