[Security] Adobe Reader

[NoOp]

For those of you that use Adobe Reader 9.1, be aware that there is a
critical security issue in 9.1, see:
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb09-06.html

A 9.1.1 release has been available since May 12, but has not yet been
updated in the repositories, see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread/+bug/371954
[remote code execution vuln in adobe reader - disable javascript by default]

For those that don't wish to continue waiting for a repository update,
you can download the .bin file from here:
<http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Unix>

Make the file executable and then:

$ sudo ./AdbeRdr9.1.1-1_i486linux_enu.bin

Extracting files, please wait. (This may take a while depending on the
configuration of your machine)

This installation requires 144 MB of free disk space.

Modify sudo ./AdbeRdr9.1.1-1_i486linux_enu.bin for your appropriate
language. The above example is for English, German would be

The above will install 9.1.1 over your 9.1 using the same folders as
your exisiting install.
