QUOTE:  Adobe has issued a prenotification security advisory to say that next Tuesday, November 16, they will release security updates for Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x.  On that day they will release updates for Reader 9.4 and earlier 9.x versions for Windows, Mac and UNIX. They will also release updates for Acrobat 9.4 and earlier 9.x versions for Windows and Mac. The UNIX updates for Acrobat is expected on Monday, November 30. No mention is made of any updates for 8.x versions of Acrobat or Reader. The prenotification specifically says that the updates will include the CVE-2010-3654 issue in Flash, which has been observed in the wild, but it will likely include all the other Flash issues fixed by Adobe in Flash itself last week.
