Large-scale attacks exploit Adobe .pdf bug; patch slated for next week
Published January 6, 2010
A week before Adobe is scheduled to patch a critical vulnerability in its popular PDF software, hackers are actively exploiting the bug with both targeted and large-scale attacks, a security researcher said.
Like other experts last month, Talbot today urged users to disable JavaScript in Reader and Acrobat to protect themselves until next Tuesday, when Adobe ships the fix.
The updates for Reader and Acrobat, which will include patches for other vulnerabilities as well as the one disclosed last month, will be posted to Adobe's security support site January 12.
