Heads up to all Adobe Acrobat 7.0 and 7.0.1 users: According to Adobe the latest version gets rid a a serious flaw. By convincing a target to download a specially crafted PDF document, attackers could "discover the existence of local files," -- i.e., read documents on the victim's computer. Adobe says that threat is minimized because the attacker would have to know the exact name and location of the files he was searching for to be able to leverage the security flaw.
