RE: PDFs & Viruses

["Dennett, Denise" <denise -dot- dennett -at- matrixone -dot- com>]

This came from our IT group about a week ago:

"As you may have read, there have been recent reports that the Adobe PDF
reader has a well known vulnerability.  Some of you may know this
product by its older name of Acrobat Reader.  The only prevention is to
upgrade to the new version 8".

We all had to upgrade. The email we got did not detail what the
vulnerability was.

Subject: PDFs & Viruses

Hello Everyone,

Has anyone heard of any problems concerning the use of
PDF files to spread viruses to business networks?

One of my firm's clients is considering banning the
posting of PDFs on its network for this reason.  This
is the first time I have heard of such a thing.

Thank you for the input.

- Anthony
