PDF Files Under Attack - CNET News Blog

Post by Bhikkhu Pesala »

News Blog
On Monday, Adobe released a patch for versions 8.1 and earlier of its Acrobat and Acrobat Reader. This patch affects Windows XP SP2 with IE7 and Adobe Reader 7 through 8.1 and addresses the flaws cited in CVE-2007-5020. If exploited, a criminal hacker could launch malicious code on an affected system.
Does this also affect PDF files opened in PDF-XChange Viewer?

I don't have an infected file. I just read the news on a forum. The Adobe Security Bulletin is here.
