here's something you don't see every day:

http://syndicated.livejournal.com/uscert_current/41935.html says US-CERT is aware of a possible vulnerability in Adobe Photoshop that may allow an attacker to cause a stack-based buffer overflow. By persuading a user to open a crafted bitmap file (e.g., .BMP, .DIB, .RLE), an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on the user's system.

US-CERT recommends that users not open untrusted bitmap files, and will continue to investigate and provide additional information as it becomes available.

Dang. I'd better check all of my bitmap files.

My favorite vulnerability description is still this one:

SunOS 5.4: bug in mouse code makes "break root" attack possible

I'm not kidding.
