"The Zeus botnet is now using an unpatched flaw in Adobe's PDF document format to infect users with malicious code, security researchers said."

I read on another website that this vulnerability does not only affect Adobe Reader but also tools from third party developers. Uh-oh.

I haven't been able to find on this website or forum whether pdfxchange viewer has been affected by this vulnerability.

Can anybody verify what's what?

Thank you.

Hi John,

take a look at this post: https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... =35&t=8067

As the article you quote pointed out this is not so much a security flaw as an exploit of the PDF specification. Tracker Software has been very quick to respond with changes to the Security preferences so that you have great control over how you handle this.
