Recently another security vulnerability has been found in Adobe Reader, the popular PDF viewing program. The flaw is in a JavaScript function, allowing remote execution of malicious code. Adobe stated that it will release an update, but did not give a time frame. For now, another security hole is added to a long list that affects Adobe Reader. Perhaps until these are patched, it would be wise for users who are concerned to use an alternative PDF viewing program. However, hopefully these vulnerabilities will soon be fixed.
