Photoshop gets bit(mapped) by a vuln
- IT TOPICS:Desktop Applications, Security
Oh, see, that's not good. From our colleagues Down Under at Computerworld Australia:
A French security researcher has revealed a flaw in the handling of Bitmap files within Adobe Systems Inc.'s Photoshop program that can lead to an exploit of a user's system. According to the researcher, known as Marsu, a buffer overflow in Adobe products can be triggered while processing a malformed BMP, DIB or RLE file. Affected programs include Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS3, says the researcher. The exploit was tested against the French edition of Windows XP SP2. Danish security research company Secunia said the solution is simple: "Do not open untrusted Bitmap files."
Untrusted bitmap files. A phrase that before today I'd have bet I'd have been as likely to run across as untrusted Beanie Babies. Happy Monday.
