Is this the way responsible disclosure works these days ?
"Adobe?s representatives can contact me from the usual place."

Wow, now that's coordinated release. Knowing the bugs that you found
previously it should take 10 minutes to rediscover this one. Which
makes this even worse.

I just saw his video showing the exploit fireing up calculator, it looks
like the same stuff (feature/exploit call it what you want) that's been
around for years. See www.nthelp.com/test.pdf (warning, it won't damage
anything but it may scare you)

ps, if anyone cares, this exploit does not work on foxit pdf reader v1.3.

foxit rocks.

so lets not call it a 'pdf' vuln, but a 'adobe acrobat' vuln.
