The issue relates to a malicious embedded font. Not much more info is here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4131 
 

Joining the club is Adobe who is releasing their update as well to Reader and Acrobat http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-09.html 

Update

Joining the "and me too" club is java with update 20.  Two security fixes by the looks of the release notes.  http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/6u20.html

 

Happy patching, as always test before doing production and Friday 5pm is never a good time to push out updates.
