Ah, okay. I do that anyway, because I've had bad experiences with Firefox crashing when displaying embedded PDFs in the past. Sounds like I should be okay until Foxit updates its reader. Thanks, Rohit Patnaik On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 8:15 PM, mrx <mrx () propergander org uk> wrote:

It should be safe to view PDF's inside both Adobe and Foxit readers whilst offline. MrX Rohit Patnaik wrote:Are there any available workarounds that would mitigate the threat? I suppose I could just upload all my PDFs to Google Docs in the meantime,butI'm looking for something that I could use while offline... --Rohit Patnaik On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 7:35 PM, mrx <mrx () propergander org uk> wrote: No, I installed latest updates prior to testing. They should be aware of this however considering what appear to be striking similarities in the code base between Foxit and Adobe readers, at least as far as shared bugs go. If not they will be aware of this after they read the email I sent them.

Foxit reader was also vulnerable to the JPEG2000/JBIG2 decoder bug. Makes me wonder how much code is common to both Adobes andFoxits PDFreaders MrX Berend-Jan Wever wrote:Adobe bulletin: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb09-15.html Short description and repro case:http://skypher.com/index.php/2009/10/13/memory-corruption-when-loadingunloading-adobe-objects-through-embed-tag-in-firefox/Cheers, SkyLined <http://skypher.com/index.php/2009/10/13/memory-corruption-when-loadingunloading-adobe-objects-through-embed-tag-in-firefox/Berend-Jan Wever <berendjanwever () gmail com> http://skypher.com/SkyLined----------------------------------------------------------------------_______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
