Security Alert! Watch out! 2.2 vulnerability!

[LimLover]

Hi @all,
the (!) german IT-news-website "heise" just posted this alert: http://www.heise.de/security/Schwachstelle-in-Foxit-PDF-Reader--/news/meldung/106946
At the end of page there are 2 links "Foxit Reader 2.2 vulnerability opening malformed pdf" in English.
Regards, ll

---
BTW: I am testing "Ubuntu" at the moment - not bad I think! But until now I found e.g. KPDF in their archives, not FoxitReader.

Hi christina,
'seen you are 9h back - sorry for that!

On the other hand:
If it is not a "false positive" (correct words?),
it is - in my opinion - good, to know
vulnerabilities as early as possilble.
Best regards, ll

This issue is being confirmed...Is this, why there is no link under the text "Many bug fixes"?

Hello All, this issue has been confirmed and has been fixed with a version 2.3 maintenance release. Foxit appreciate your report.

[LimLover]

Thanks, but I only brought the message.

"maintenance": Do you mean the (scheduled and) released 2.3 from yesterday, or is there now a newer build?
Regards, L.

A newer build which will be released to site later

[LimLover]

Thanks for the quick answer.
Okay - then I´m looking forward to test brand-new 2.3 on the Microsoft-computer!
