Last week Adobe's PSIRT Team published an advisory on vulnerabilities affecting Adobe Reader and Acrobat. Yesterday they published an update that they plan to release a patch to resolve CVE-2013-0640 and CVE-2013-0641 this week.

Hopefully that means the update will be smooth! :-)

(Carpenter's joke: planed = smooth...)
This will address the 0day exploit used in targeted attacks reported by FireEye http://blog.fireeye.com/research/2013/02/in-turn-its-pdf-time.html

> the update will be smooth! :-)

And will "knot" result in any "framing" errors.

(Carpenter's joke)
That patch will never fly.
SANS- I think you meant "planned" not "planed"- thus all the carpenter jokes. :)
Lisa G.,

I think that you "hit the nail on the head".

Just "cutting-up" before SANS "deplanes" this item.

Just get into the plane, and "take-off", eh?
