Updates for the following software are coming on Tuesday, according to Adobe’s prenotification security advisory:
• Reader 9.3 for Windows, Mac, and Unix
• Acrobat 9.3 for Windows and Mac
• Reader 8.2 for Windows and Mac
• Acrobat 8.2 for Windows and Mac
“The Tuesday updates will also address the Flash issue, Adobe said,” Mills reports. “Meanwhile, the company released a security update to fix a hole in Flash Player version 10.0.42.43 (and earlier versions) that could “subvert the domain sandbox and make unauthorized cross-domain requests,” according to a security bulletin.”

Adobe sure gained a pile of hurt when they bought Macromedia.

Unfortunately, MDN can’t stick the “Mac users unaffected” tagline on this one. 🙁
I guess they can still say that iPhones (and iPod touch) users are not affected.

Hmm, I wonder why mean old Steve Jobs wants to keep Flash out of his new iPhone OS ecosystem? What could it be…
I only installed Adobe Reader because Preview was not copying certain text in the correct order, whereas Adobe Reader did. It’s not always that way and I use it as a last resort.

iPhone’s, iPod Touch’s and iPad’s unaffected!

I use PDFpen from smileonmymac software. It also allows you to edit most PDFs.
Been a longtime user, totally satisfied, and the developers respond personally.
Also have used their PageSender fax software for over 5 years in my pharmacy. Saves a ton of paper and allows me to archive my electronic prescriptions. (PS. No, I don’t work for them)
