As reported on CNET news: Security researchers have found a “highly critical” flaw in the portable-network graphics plug-in for the latest version of Adobe Systems’ Photoshop Creative Suite, as well as for other versions of the software that run on Windows.
The portable-network graphics, or PNG, plug-in vulnerabilities were discovered in Adobe Photoshop Creative Suite 3 (CS3), Photoshop CS2, and Adobe Photoshop Elements (Editor) version 5.0 for Windows, according to a report released Monday by Secunia, which cited a researcher named “Marsu” with the discovery. Marsu tested a public exploit against versions of the software running Windows XP SP2.
These security flaws follow a report last week by Marsu that identified another set of critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Photoshop CS3 and CS2 for Windows.
For me, the key words in this story are “for Windows.” Now, does this mean is does not effect the Mac, or it just has not been tried to exploite it yet on the Mac?
But damn, how do these crackers (bad hackers) find thesr things? Who would look for a flaw in a Photoshop plugin for breaking into people’s computers. Do these people have jobs?
