Adobe Flaw Means Trusted PDFs May Be Treacherous
Interesting report from InformationWeek:
"Adobe's Reader browser plug-in has a significant flaw that can be exploited by attackers to snatch control of a PC from users running Firefox and Opera browsers, Symantec reported Wednesday.
According to Symantec, which issued a lengthy alert to customers of its DeepSight threat network early in the day, any Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) file on the Internet could be used by hackers to run rogue JavaScript on the victimized PC." [RJ]
