Acrobat [Reader] 0-Day On the Loose

New Acrobat 0-day in the wild:  Severe vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat affecting versions 8.x and 9 that is currently on the loose in the wild and being actively exploited. Avoid it by turning off Javascript inside of your Adobe Acrobat products.

Disabling JavaScript is easy. This is how it can be done in Acrobat Reader:

Click: Edit -> Preferences -> JavaScript and uncheck Enable Acrobat JavaScript

We believe Adobe is aware of this issue and actively working to address it. However, we felt it was necessary to release this information to let people know how to mitigate against the attacks as they can be devastating. Right now multiple Antivirus companies detect this threat.
