FoxIt Reader, a program designed to read PDF files, has issued a security patch. This makes the latest version v2.3, Build 2825. Brian Krebs has more details, if you want them.
If you're already using this program, Help -> Check for Updates Now will help you out. You might see a bunch of options for add-ons, depending on the choices you made during your previous installation; if so, ignore these (or not, as you like). The upgrade is the likely the one at the bottom of the list. Select that choice by single-clicking on it, click the Add button, and click the Install button, and you should be fine. I was, anyway.
If you're not already using this program, and still use Adobe's Reader (formerly known as Acroread and Acrobat Reader), I urge you to give FoxIt a test drive. It's a much smaller program to download and, correspondingly, its security patches are, too; it starts up faster; and as far as I can tell, it renders PDF files without flaw.
More evangelizing from me here. Learn about and download the program here.
