Adobe has acknowledged that there are potential vulnerabilities in its products that are Acrobat and Reader.
The affected versions are version 7.0.0 and version 7.0.8. The company stated that they are currently working on a fix and the next versions that is Acrobat and Reader 8.0 that will be soon made available will be free from the vulnerabilities.
