|
Answer» HTTP://secunia.com/advisories/33901/ DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability has been reported in Adobe Reader/Acrobat, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error and can be exploited to CAUSE a BUFFER overflow. No further information is available. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. NOTE: Reportedly, the vulnerability is currently being actively exploited. SOLUTION: Do not process untrusted documents. The vendor is PLANNING to release updates for Adobe Reader/Acrobat 9 by March 11th, 2009. My advice: get rid of the beast, and switch to FoxIt: http://www.filehippo.com/download_foxit/changelog/Adobe Acrobat 9 is available now. http://get.adobe.com/reader/ |
