Adobe rolled out a new security update for its Reader and Acrobat software which addresses a total of 23 security issues.

The patches resolve memory corruption, privilege escalation, prefix protocol handler, denial of service and prefix protocol handler vulnerabilities, and a font-parsing input issue which is currently being exploited. An update is highly recommended so check out Adobe's site for Reader 9.4 and Acrobat 9.4.
