Zero-day exploit an issue?

[DeepPowder]

Does PDF-XChange viewer user sandbox technology similar to Adobe's and is it subject to the same zero-day exploit announced today?

Hello DeepPowder,

All the code in our Viewer is our own - so it's certainly different than the one used in Adobe's products, but if you can provide a link to a description of this exploit I will have our developers check this straight away!

Best,
Stefan

Here are a number of links that were in the 11/09 issue of SANS NewsBites (I hope they don't mind me using them here!):

Thanks for the links DeepPowder,

I just spoke with the project leader and he is 99% sure we are not affected by this, but as it's a national holiday today in Canada he is unable to test on his work machine - so we would be able to confirm that with 100% certainty later.

Best,
Stefan
