I actually don't use Adobe Reader any more, every since learning about PDF-XCHANGE VIEWER, which is a much better free PDF app. But I know most people still use Adobe, so just passing on the news of an update. You can download it from the link below, or just open up Reader on your computer and under Help click Check for Update (easiest way to do it).

Adobe Reader 9.2.0 fixes 28 security holes

The latest 9.2.0 update specifically resolves this critical vulnerability as well as several input validation issues, a buffer overflow issue, a few memory corruption issues, a few integer overflow issues, a remote denial-of-service issue, and a stack overflow issue. To say the least, Adobe categories this as a “critical update.”

I've been using Foxit, but have been annoyed at its inability to update itself on Vista and the constant nags when it does come up. It always starts with a Vista LUA popup asking for privileges. (I like LUA, and blame the app if I get too many popups.)

I guess I need to get everyone at the office updating their Acrobat Reader.

Here's the list of vulnerabilities:

Meanwhile, I just uninstalled Foxit and installed PDF-XViewer. Looks good so far.
