Hackers start exploiting new Adobe Reader zero-day flaw - GMA News Online - The Go-To Site for Filipinos Everywhere: "A new zero-day vulnerability has been discovered in Adobe's Acrobat Reader software, with at least one computer security firm already noting a rise in attempts to exploit the bug.

Sophos said a patch from Adobe is due December 12, although it may not fix the flaw in Reader X until January 10, 2012.

"Why the delay for Reader X? Adobe's Brad Arkin explained in a blog post that the 'Protected Mode' sandbox functionality introduced in Reader X prevents the exploit from successfully infecting Windows PCs," Sophos said in a blog post.
