The vulnerability was presented by the researcher Charlie Miller at the Black Hat USA 2010 security conference on July, 25 in Las Vegas.

Adobe credits Google security engineer Tavis Ormandy with its discovery. Apparently this is one of the relatively rare cases where two security researchers discover the same vulnerability independently of each other. In this case Mr. Ormandy reported it to Adobe first and in private.
According to Symantec the first exploitation of the vulnerability was discovered on  2009-03-05.
