Get the patches while they are hot:
Update Foxit Reader if you have it already
Update Adobe Reader if you still have it
Do note that while recommending users to move away from Adobe Reader, we are not recommending any particular replacement.
So, we're not recommending Foxit. We're not recommending Sumatra. Or PDF-Xchange, CoolPDF or eXPert PDF.
Instead, we recommend users to find their own Adobe Reader replacement.
This way we get more heterogeneous userbase, which is a good idea security-wise. Nobody wants to repeat what happened with the great IE -> Firefox switch. As 40% of users switched to Firefox, about 40% of the attacks switched to target Firefox.
Monocultures are bad.
