The folks at Adobe have been keeping themselves busy this week patching several security holes in their software, including one affecting Photoshop Mac users.
According to a recent technical note on Adobe's site, those using the company’s professional photo editing software on a Mac are advised to patch immediately using Photoshop Standard Multiplugin CS5/CS5.1.
Adobe has recently learned that opening a GIF image of unknown origin may have a negative outcome. Here’s the situation in the Flash maker’s own words:
“The standard multiplugin update addresses a security vulnerability in the GIF file format, where opening a malicious GIF file would cause the application to crash.”
“This update is recommended for anyone who opens GIF files in Photoshop,” Adobe says.
Surely those editing multiple pictures at the same time would hate to see Photoshop crash before them simply because they opened a GIF image.
