Secunia classifies this vulnerability as "extremely critical", and describes it as an "unspecified 0-day memory corruption error when handling U3D data".
As one who abandoned Adobe Reader long ago (too big, too bloated, and too much a security risk) I now must repudiate the alternative Foxit pdf reader. The latest version 5.1 comes with the ASK toolbar pre-checked by default, and that is not acceptable to me.

I now use the free Sumatra pdf reader, available here:
