Adobe announced that it isn't wasting much time in fixing the "critical" Flash vulnerability that could allow remote hijacking of a user's computer, but its a slightly different story when it comes to patching Adobe Acrobat and Reader. According to Adobe, the Flash fix will be rolled out by tomorrow at the latest, but it says that the patch that will fix Reader and Acrobat won't be available until June 29th Adobe says it had considered quickly working on and rushing out a patch to fix Reader and Acrobat as soon as possible, btu that would have caused too much "churn and patch management overhead on our users" considering there's already a regular quarterly update scheduled for July 13th. So instead, Adobe as decided to push the update up to June 29th, and simply include the fix for the vulnerability with it. In the meantime just be safe!
