Adobe Issues Security Update

A vulnerability has been identified in Adobe Acrobat PDF reader, which could be exploited by attackers to take complete control of an affected system. This flaw is due to a buffer overflow error when distilling files to PDF, which could be exploited by attackers to crash a vulnerable application or execute arbitrary commands by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted document. For version 6.0-6.0.4, Acrobat users should utilize the product's automatic update facility to install version 6.0.5.

Alternatively download and install the update from Adobe.
