If you recently had problems with your Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8, please check out the latest Adobe Security Advisory. Updates was released last February 6, 2008 for the Adobe Reader 8.1.1 and earlier versions and Adobe Acrobat Professional, 3D and Standard 8.1.1 and earlier versions.  Here’s the summary:

In addition to addressing bug fixes and providing support for Mac OS X Leopard (up through version 10.5.1), the update includes several important security fixes, among them a few of critical severity that could be remotely exploitable.

Adobe recommends users of Acrobat and Adobe Reader 8 install the 8.1.2 update to protect themselves from potential vulnerabilities.

Acrobat and Adobe Reader 7.0.9 and earlier versions are also affected by these vulnerabilities. Adobe will provide further information as to the nature of the vulnerabilities via the company’s Security Bulletins and Advisories page (http://www.adobe.com/support/security/) once updates are available for all affected versions of Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
