This just in from Sunbelt Software.

————————————-

Fwiw, we’re seeing a fair number of PDF exploits in the wild. There are versions attaching vulnerabilities in both Adobe and FoxIt readers.

VIPRE has robust coverage for these threats. As an example, here is a Virustotal report for this morning on an in-the-wild sample:

I would still encourage all of you to make sure that Acrobat readers in your company are updated with the latest versions from Adobe. These exploits are quite nasty, as some will infect with just a mouse-over on a file.
