Adobe Systems expects to have patches ready to fix the latest flaws in Acrobat and Reader by next week.

"We are in the process of fixing the issue and expect to make available product updates for the relevant supported Adobe Reader and Acrobat versions and platforms by May 12th," wrote David Lenoe, a security program manager, on Adobe's security blog.

The update will fix the problem in versions 7.x, 8.x and 9.x for Reader and Acrobat on Windows, versions 8.x and 9.x of Reader and Acrobat for Macintosh, and Reader versions 8.x and 9.x for Unix. It will repair bug CVE-2009-1492, which concerns Adobe's implementation of JavaScript in Reader and Acrobat.
