New Version Of Foxit Reader Available

Foxit Software has released a new version of their PDF viewer, Foxit Reader. In addition to a bunch of minor bugs there're fixes for two security vulnerabilities that if exploited may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in target system. The first vulnerability is caused by Insecure Library Loading and the second one is related to opening certain PDF files in a web browser.

Affected are Foxit Reader versions earlier than 5.0.2. Foxit Reader users should update their version to the latest one available either by using "Check for Updates Now" in Reader help menu or by downloading a fresh version here (Note: remember to unselect Ask related options during the installation process unless you really want that installed too).
