D-SWAT
Adobe has released a security update for Photoshop CS4. The Photoshop CS4 11.0.2 update addresses a number of critical issues and vulnerabilities discovered after the product shipped Adobe's John Nack notes in a blog post.
"Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 and earlier for Windows and Macintosh that could allow an attacker who successfully exploits these vulnerabilities to take control of the affected system. A malicious .ASL, .ABR, or .GRD file must be opened in Photoshop CS4 by the user for an attacker to be able to exploit these vulnerabilities," Adobe described in an advisory. ASL, ABR, and GRD files refer to swatches, brushes, and gradients, respectively.
The above issues DO NOT affect Photoshop CS5, Adobe said.
