Adobe is planning to release security updates for Adobe Reader and Acrobat
X (10.1.3) and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh on Tuesday,

The flaws are rated "critical," meaning malicious native-code can be
executed without a user's knowledge.
As and when we spot more information we will create a further bulletin.
