Security Alert: Adobe Reader & Acrobat 9 and Flash Player 10 Security Update

Windows, Mac and Linux users running Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.1.2 and older or Flash player 9.0.124.0 and older are vulnerable to exploits. Without the security upgrade, an authorized attacker may take complete control of an affected system by convincing the user to open a maliciously crafted Portable Document Format (PDF) file or Flash file. The Adobe Reader & Acrobat vulnerabilities are actively being attacked through e-mail and malicious or compromised web sites.
