Default Security Alert! Watch out! 2.2 vulnerability!
Hi @all,
the (!) german IT-news-website "heise" just posted this alert: http://www.heise.de/security/Schwach...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

Is this, why there is no link under the text "Many bug fixes"?

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.

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