Adobe Flash, PDF vulnerability

[Mary Sheahan]

Thanks everybody...I'll hope that this is the case.  And that it's not the dll itself causing the problem--with a publicist forgetting to mention the lower-volume product!

As a follow up, Adobe says the vulnerability is in Flash Player and Reader.
No mention of FM.

Do you download a lot of suspicious files or visit potentially contaminated web sites?

If so, you may want to RENAME .dll. But unless you think you're particularly at risk.... I wouldn't break things.

On Friday Adobe issued a security advisory for a critical vulnerability in Acrobat (URLs below for details).

The recommended pre-patch fix is to delete authplay.dll which ships with Acrobat Reader and Acrobat 9.x for Windows.  I have at one time or another had both installed so I did a search across my hard drive -- and learned that this file is also in my FrameMaker 9 program folder.

Does anyone know if I should delete it from there as well?  Or will it cause FM9 problems if it's not there?

Thanks,
Mary
