New Adobe CRITICAL Security Updates:
Acrobat Pro and Reader 11.0.03

-
[Updated 2013-05-21 @8:38 AM: I removed the paragraphs and image regarding a low resolution icon for Adobe Reader. What I had witnessed was, I have discovered, yet another bug in Apple's Finder application. I've witnessed the exact same phenomenon with other newly installed apps. Refreshing or relaunching the Finder removes the problem. Not good Apple! Apologies to Adobe.]

On schedule, Adobe has posted critical security updates of both Acrobat Pro and Reader. The download links are below.

Thankfully, Adobe has (belatedly) provided an updated Security Bulletin as well, which is also linked below. The updates patch 27 security vulnerabilities.
