Hi,
Seems like there's a critical vulnerability identified in Adobe Reader, also
applicable to Linux.. Since Adobe apparently doesn't have any plans to fix this
for another three weeks, would it be an idea to put a warning in the acroread
SlackBuild in the meantime?

Which also brings up a related question, if there perhaps is a need for a
slackbuilds-security mailing list to warn against possible vulnerabilities in
a SlackBuild. It's a more-than-dual-egged-sword challenge, since keeping that
up-to-date would be a nightmare and warning on some programs might give false
sense of security of others...
Still perhaps worth a debate?
Just my $.02
