Summary

Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Reader 9.3.4 (and earlier versions) for
Windows, Macintosh and UNIX, Adobe Acrobat 9.3.4 (and earlier versions) for Windows and
Macintosh, and Adobe Reader 8.2.4 (and earlier versions) and Adobe Acrobat 8.2.4 (and earlier

Adobe recommends users of Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh
and UNIX update to Adobe Reader 9.4. (For Adobe Reader users on Windows and Macintosh,
who cannot update to Adobe Reader 9.4, Adobe has provided the Adobe Reader 8.2.5 update.)
Adobe recommends users of Adobe Acrobat 9.3.4 and earlier versions for Windows and
Macintosh update to Adobe Acrobat 9.4. Adobe recommends users of Adobe Acrobat 8.2.4 and
