See here for the details.

Download a patch directly from Adobe.

Make sure that it's Adobe; don't click on email links; this vulnerability is so far being exploited via "phishing"; emails and pop-ups that look like they're from a news organization or Adobe.

Here's more info for the truly geeky.

For updating:

adobe said:
