Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Reader X (10.0) for Windows and Macintosh; Adobe Reader 9.4.1 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX; and Adobe Acrobat X (10.0) and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh. These vulnerabilities could cause the application to crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system. Risk for Adobe Reader X users is significantly lower, as none of these issues bypass Protected Mode mitigations.
These updates also incorporate the Adobe Flash Player update as noted in Security Bulletin APSB11-02.
Adobe recommends users of Adobe Reader X (10.0) and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh update to Adobe Reader X (10.0.1), available now. Adobe recommends users of Adobe Reader 9.4.1 for UNIX update to Adobe Reader 9.4.2, expected to be available by the week of February 28, 2011. For users of Adobe Reader 9.4.1 and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh who cannot update to Adobe Reader X (10.0.1), Adobe has made available updates, Adobe Reader 9.4.2 and Adobe Reader 8.2.6.

Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Reader and Acrobat X (10.0.2) and earlier 10.x and 9.x versions for Windows and Macintosh operating systems. These vulnerabilities, including CVE-2011-0611, as referenced in Security Advisory APSA11-02, could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system. There are reports that one of the vulnerabilities, CVE-2011-0611, is being actively exploited in the wild against both Adobe Flash Player, and Adobe Reader and Acrobat, as well as via a Flash (.swf) file embedded in a Microsoft Word (.doc) or Microsoft Excel (.xls) file delivered as an email attachment targeting the Windows platform. Adobe Reader X Protected Mode mitigations would prevent an exploit of this kind from executing.

Adobe recommends users of Adobe Acrobat X (10.0.2) for Windows and Macintosh update to Adobe Acrobat X (10.0.3). Adobe recommends users of Adobe Acrobat 9.4.3 for Windows and Macintosh update to Adobe Acrobat 9.4.4.

Today's security updates are out-of-cycle updates.
