secunia.com has found yet another Adobe can of worms. Steve Jobs was

IAWTP!

I can only hope that the Reader/Acrobat X is going to help solve the
Reader/Acrobat problems, but only time will tell. I understand it's
due out this month...

God I hate Flash. I switched from AdobeReader to Foxit Reader just a
few days ago. Many commercial websites I use still use Flash, I can't
do anything about that. But at least I was able to rid myself of
AdobeReader.

We are in the process of finalizing a fix for the issue and expect to provide an update for
Flash Player 10.x for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Android by November 9, 2010.
We expect to make available an update for Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.4 and earlier 9.x
versions during the week of November 15, 2010.

Interesting subject matter. It sounds as if you play an important role,
David.
