Description
Earlier fixes in Update 1 fixes (included in this patch)
Update 2 will fix a controversy that causes Acrobat to crash when exporting multiple pages to Level-1 EPS. More importantly, it patches security vulnerabilities due to buffer overrun assaults. This issue could permit a malicious user to crash a program or run unauthorised code. If a malicious user were to generate a specially devised PDF file and it was then viewed in Acrobat reader, the file could crash the program or run an arbitrary code on the computer. Update 2 is a cumulative release – you do not need to put in Update 1 first.
The first update addressed a considerable number of issues in Acrobat while installing the English version of the Web Buy plug-in and its associated files. This plug-in lets you acquire and open Acrobat Web Buy PDF files. The specific issues addressed are:
Incomplete FDF (Form Information Format) information sent in Web Explorer after a post
Errors when using the Touch Up tool on some Adobe PDF files created by Adobe InDesign
Crashing if new Kodak dll files had been installed
Crashing on startup if the Text-to-Speech function is enabled
Errors when clicking a Web link in an Adobe PDF file to view in Netscape Navigator
Errors with Administrator versus User privileges using WebBuy and read-only media
Permissions for folder in \WinNT\Profiles\All Users is changed to All
Error, ‘Insufficient Memory,’ in Adobe PDFWriter when the Compression or Font tab is chosen (Windows 2000 only)
