Not too often that we report security flaws in image editing applications, but today is different. Secunia is reporting (here and here) that there are unpatched flaws in Adobe PhotoShop CS2 and the new CS3 edition. For the flaws to be exploited, a user would have to open a specially-crafted BMP or PNG image, which could trigger a buffer overflow. In English: Just open images from trusted sources (and really, the same goes for e-mail attachments.) Adobe has yet to release an update.
