Security Flaw In Acrobat Reader

Macs are vulnerable to this bug too:

Since I use Acrobat Pro 6 frequently to create and edit, and won't
upgrade until the upcoming universal binary version is released, it
will be a big PITA to have to constantly move between the reader,
which I will set as the default, and the full application.

Re: Security Flaw In Acrobat Reader

BTW, that washington post article was from July 2006. There is a serious problem in Adobe Acrobat Reader right now (don't know if a patch has been released, but certainly many users will not have upgraded yet). All webmasters that worry about cross site scripting (ie, cookie/credential theft) should be treating PDF documents as unsafe-- changing the PDF mime type to avoid inline display; serving the document outside of the domain with the interesting cookies (or IP address); or something similar. http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2007-January/051572.html Is that the issue you are thinking of?
