    Recent PDF vulnerability...

    ...is this one attacking any apps other than Adobe's product(s)? Anybody know? Thanks.

    Here is Adobe's advisory:

    http://www.adobe.com/support/securit...apsb07-18.html

    It won't work with Vista or Win2000 you need WinXP SP2 or Win2003 and IE7.

    and here:

    Javacool also has a fix: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/pdffix.html

    I believe that it would work with Foxit if you have Java enabled and if the user interacts with the tainted file. It doesn't work with IE 6 and probably won't with other browsers as I have seen nothing from FF and Opera.
