Shadowserver has recommended that users disable JavaScript in Adobe's Reader and Acrobat until mid-January, when Adobe is likely to release a key update.
"To disable JavaScript in Adobe Reader or Acrobat on Windows, users must select Preferences from the Edit menu, choose 'JavaScript,' then uncheck the 'Enable Acrobat JavaScript' option," writes Computerworld's Gregg Keizer. "(On the Mac, Preferences is under the 'Adobe Reader' or 'Adobe Acrobat' menus.)"
"Adobe is not saying when it will patch the issue, but its next set of Reader and Acrobat patches is due Jan. 12," writes PC World's Robert McMillan.
