Adobe Security Vulnerability and G.G applications Lipkin, Stuart 25 Feb 2009 16:42 EST

Hi All,

Maybe someone out there already knows the answer to this question - so I thought I would post it here.  I didn't see any information on the Grants.gov website - but I might have missed it.

Adobe has recently issues a security warning (http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa09-01.html) for their product and announced that they are planning a patch for it in mid-March.  One of the suggested workarounds is to disable javascript in the product.  While Adobe says this will not mitigate the problem completely, but is suggested as a temporary workaround.

I've received some questions about this from our users.  If people decided to turn off JavaScript would this adversely impact their ability to successfully complete G.G Adobe packages?

Thanks

Stu
