PSA: Adobe Photoshop Bitmap File Handling Vulnerability
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.
