They didn't informed about security fixes included to the release, but security community found the Release Notes document including this information.

Later Secunia published the following advisory saying these issues are Moderately Critical:

From the advisory:
Description:
Some vulnerabilities with unknown impacts have been reported in Adobe Reader.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to some unspecified errors.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in versions prior to 7.0.8.
