Adobe Still Ignores Elcomsoft-Discovered Holes

Posted by timothy on from the arrest-that-man-officer dept.

evenprime writes "In 2001, Dmitry Sklyarov described vulnerabilities in Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Acrobat Reader while giving a talk at Defcon 9. As has been previously mentioned, Dmitry was arrested the day after this talk. He and his company Elcomsoft were charged with violating the DMCA. Now Elcomsoft have announced that Adobe, two years later, has still not patched these bugs."

    any word yet on a PDF viewer that isnt the poorest possible implimentation of a document viewer ever?
    "Let's take something that doesnt have pages, okay now, stay with me, and... pretend that it has pages, making the entire thing be a strain to read"

    It's a fucking computer screen, yet I've never seen a viewer that doesnt handle each page as if it were being displayed on paper. Bullshit. Am I the only one who likes to be reading MORE THAN ONE PAGE AT A TIME? YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU CAN WITH A FUCKING BOOK OR PRINTOUT?
    Fucking nazi peice of shit.

    " And viruses don't "exploit bugs" at all. They simple append their code into a file (usually the beginning) or into a file (unused code, etc) and then "point" the program to run that code. "

    Great.. now can you explain why Unix systems in general are immune to virus infection as well as attacks?

    Let's leave aside all the neo-terrorists and success-haters hypotheses aside.
