Hi,
I am writing concerning the recent security problems with PDF files
(JBIG2 buffer overflows). I did see a post at the SANS Internet Storm
Center (http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=5932) that sort of
hinted that the problem might exist for MacOS X 10.5 Preview, but I am
wondering if anything has been issued as official guidance for persons
running OS X (in my case, Leopard, specifically) in terms of a
mitigation, fix, or workaround. I do note that Apple released a
security update in mid February 2009, but further perusal of that
document (http://lists.apple.com/archives/security-announce/2009/Feb/msg00000.html
) doesn't mention anything to do with PDFs.
I can't avoid PDFs forever. Are there any mitigations, advisories or
good alternative PDF readers for Mac?
Michael
