Hi,
I've just found and installed acroread 7 for Solaris in the acro_v7.0
locker, after hearing of a major security hole in acroread 5.x (all
versions) on all UNIX platforms.
Adobe has a security advisory out telling users to switch ASAP to 7 on
all platforms for which it's available.
I'd like 7 to become the default by tonight's AFS propagation in view of this.
At the moment the default link in the acro base locker is still pointing to
acro_v5.0.10, but I'd like to switch it to acro_v7.0. Is it OK if I do this
now?
This will also let me simplify the locker configuration, back to what
it was before version skew, and may fix the user problem reported
recently, where the acro locker needs to be attached for the browser
plugin to work.
Alex
