Adobe acknowledged that all versions of its popular PDF software, including editions for Windows, the Mac and Linux, contain at least one, and possibly two, critical vulnerabilities.

“All currently supported shipping versions of Adobe Reader and Acrobat, [versions] 9.1, 8.1.4, and 7.1.1 and earlier, are vulnerable to this issue,” said David Lenoe, the company’s security program manager...

Proof-of-concept attack code for both bugs has already been published on the Web.

You might check for patches. A quick look at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ shows quite a few security related patches that Apple is recommending users download.
