   Adobe Acrobat XI and Reader XI 11.0.02

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Adobe has updated [1]Acrobat XI and [2]Reader XI to version to version
   11.0.02 solely for improving the security of the two apps. The updates
   address [3]critical vulnerabilities in versions 11.0.01 and earlier of
   both apps, which could enable an attacker to take control of your
   system (detailed over at [4]NextWeb). The update for Acrobat XI is just
   [5]11.9 MB; meanwhile you can choose between the delta updater ([6]25
   MB) or the full installer ([7]76.6 MB) for Reader XI. Additionally,
   Adobe recommends that users of older editions of Acrobat and Reader
   update their software as well, with Acrobat getting version 10.1.6
   ([8]13.5 MB) and version 9.5.4 ([9]10.8 MB). If you can't update to
   Reader XI 11.0.02, you can similarly choose version 10.1.6 ([10]17 MB)
   and version 9.5.4 ([11]5.4 MB for Intel, [12]5.6 MB for PowerPC). ($449
