Adobe Zero-Day, Symantec says they've got it covered

SANS Internet Storm Center and Shadowserver report Adobe Arobat 0-day in the wild. Our friends over at Symantec say they've got our back. Estimated time for Adobe to patch is a couple of weeks.

Larry Pesce over at PaulDotCom has an interesting post on how to use metadata as a tool for secuity for auditing this zero-day exploit. He also points out that this problem affects not only Adobe Reader, but also Adobe Standard, Abode Pro, and Adobe Pro Extended releases of versions 7, 8, and 9.
