From Computer Weekly:

Users of Adobe Reader should disable JavaScript to avoid a zero-day hacking attack on the PDF document reader software.

This is the latest in a series of major security holes in the Adobe software. The company said it is planning to release an update for Adobe Reader tomorrow. This update represents the second quarterly security update for Adobe Reader and Acrobat

Sure. Disable javascript. How about, just a thought, writing some good code?

Hmm, ya think? Maybe?
