Nice that ZDNET publishes these vulns ...
A few seconds of time and a few mouse clicks and my Linux distro is patched, no sweat. Its really great that most of the fixes now appear in real time. As far as the adobe flaw goes, I was already using Acrobat Reader 7 anyway, it pays to keep up to date and that is easy to do with Linux and doesn't cost a dime.
