Adobe has confirmed that some of its programs have a security flaw that enables malware to attack personal computers. This critical flaw has been found in versions of Adobe Reader and Acrobat Software.

This looks to be the same vulnerability that was pointed out by Petko Petkov a couple weeks ago, which means that simply opening an Adobe file could render the malware able to access your computer. Adobe is currently working on fixing the software, but says the fix may not be available until the end of this month. Well, a lot of hackers could have a lot of fun by then, so be wary of Adobe files for the time being.
