The update will address critical problems in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.3.4 and 8.2.4 for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX/Linux. These include Flash vulnerabilities which were already updated in Flash but to which Reader and Acrobat are also vulnerable. There is an implication that other vulnerabilities will be fixed. as well. Tune in Tuesday for more details as Adobe releases them and the updates themselves.
