Critical vulnerability in Adobe Reader

Filed under: — Aviran Mordo

Core Security Technologies issued an advisory disclosing a vulnerability that could affect millions of individuals and businesses using Adobe’s Reader PDF file viewing software. Engineers from CoreLabs determined that Adobe Reader could be exploited to gain access to vulnerable systems via the use of a specially crafted PDF file with malicious JavaScript content. Upon making the discovery, CoreLabs immediately alerted Adobe to the vulnerability and the two companies have since coordinated efforts to ensure that a patch could be created and made available to protect users of the program.

Adobe has issued a security update that addresses the vulnerable version 8.1.2 of Reader. Alternatively, users of affected versions of the program can also work around the problem and reduce their exposure by disabling JavaScript functionality in the software’s Edit|Preferences menu.

Amazon tries to take window shopping online

Filed under: — Aviran Mordo

Shopping online can be great for bargain hunting, but it’s not usually thought of as a feast for the senses. A new Amazon.com Inc. site is trying to change this, though, by showcasing some items in a multimedia setting.

The online retailer quietly rolled out Windowshop.com in mid-September, and is updating the site each Tuesday with new, best-selling and hand-picked products.

Visitors are encouraged to use the arrow keys on their keyboards to navigate the site, which features products as vivid rectangles in a checkerboard-like configuration.

Right now, Windowshop includes music, books, video games and movies. You can zoom in on a product to see or hear related content, like a video clip of the movie “Kung Fu Panda” or an audio review of the book “The Widow Clicquot: The Story of a Champagne Empire and the Woman Who Ruled it.”

If you want to buy an item, you can click to jump to the product’s page on Amazon’s main site.
