Secunia, a leading security firm, recently issued a warning alert against an exploit code, which is likely to derive benefit from a security vulnerability within both Adobe Photoshop Creative Suites 2 and 3, allowing a hacker to intercept a user’s system. The software embarks upon bitmap files the wrong way, which causes to be a buffer overflow. Secunia claims to have come up with the issue first of all, and warns any version of Photoshop users of not opening unreliable bitmap files until or unless a patch is rolled out.
Though the exploit code is widely available, but no reports of its wild use has been received so far, says Secunia, and the company even does not look forward to lots of happenings seeing that Photoshop has not extensively been deployed amongst general PC users. While, on the other hand, Adobe claims to be known to the problem, and is hoping to come up with a potential fix.
