An exploit against adobe acrobate have been annonced today by GNUCITIZEN. It is not a vulnerability in the format of course … It juste acroread/acrobat that have a problem. Once again people mess up between file format and software. Anyway, Acrobat is vulnerable up to the 8.1 and the exploit is said to run against XP sp2. Before the patch is release, it is best to use an other viewer. It might be interessting to find out if this bug can also apply to OSX or Linux acroread.

Pete FinniganHas has release an analysis of the Oracle 11 g password. It appears that other reasearch labs have come to the same conclusion. For example see The Recurity Lablog . So it appears that Oracle 11g use SHA1 alongs with a salt to store password. It is always good to know 
I suppose that salt are meant to prevent the use of rainbow tables.
