MISC: http://blogs.adobe.com/psirt/2009/12/new_adobe_reader_and_acrobat_v.html

Unspecified vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.2 and earlier
has unknown impact and attack vectors, as exploited in the wild in

An unconfirmed third-party posting [1] indicates this vulnerability is in the JavaScript processing, so a proposed work-around is to disable JavaScript (Edit -> Preferences -> JavaScript).  This has not been official confirmed by Adobe.

We will prepare updates and issue an erratum to correct this issue once Adobe have released a fixed version of Acrobat reader.  Please see Adobe blog and advisories for estimates of timeframes.
