Adobe has released updates for Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x series Windows versions. New version patches earlier informed vulnerability (CVE-2011-2462) and also other vulnerability (CVE-2011-4369). Both may allow an attacker to take control of the vulnerable system.
Above mentioned vulnerabilities exist also in Adobe Reader X and Adobe Acrobat X versions. However, protection modes built in those prevent exploit of the type currently targeting these two vulnerabilities from executing. Thus, Adobe is planning to address theses issues in their next quarterly security update for Adobe Reader and Acrobat (scheduled for January 10, 2012).
More information in the related security bulletin.
