Today, we posted the Adobe Reader 9.1 and Acrobat 9.1 update, which resolves the recent JBIG2 security issue (CVE-2009-0658), including the ‘no-click’ variant of the vulnerability. We encourage all Adobe Reader users to download and install the free Adobe Reader 9.1. The Adobe Reader 9.1 update is available here. Acrobat 9 users should refer to the Security Bulletin for download details. We expect updates for Adobe Reader 7 and 8, and Acrobat 7 and 8, to be available by March 18. In addition, Adobe plans to make available Adobe Reader 9.1 for Unix by March 25. In the meantime, for Adobe Reader 7 and 8 users who are unable to update to Adobe Reader 9.1, as well as Acrobat 7 and 8 users, more information on immediate protection for this issue from anti-virus and security vendors is available in the post directly below.
