For those who use Photoshop CS3, CS2 or Elements 5
A highly-critical flaw has been discovered and a fix is not available yet. 
Do Not Open Any .PNG files
Please see the following links for an explanation. Critical flaw found in Photoshop plug-in | Tech News on ZDNet
Cheers,

This would be for web surfing or receiving emails with embedded photos. You need to be directed to a website where a specially crafted page with a bad png file. You will also need to have set Photoshop with png plug-in as your default viewer.
A work around untill there is a fix released, would be to disable Photoshop as the default viewer. You will still be able to launch Photoshop and "File, open" - or similar, a png file. This flaw should not apply to your local png files unless you have caught a bad one......
This also happened to jpg & jpeg files some while back. |

I have CS3 on my Mac so I don't think there is a problem.

There had been a long running competition in the US with a prize for the first demonstrable hack into the Mac OS. Proof of concept was shown and verified a few weeks ago and the competition closed. I believe the hack was the crafted web page type and rendered the Mac to full control of the hacker.
None of us are safe. |
