Web and print publishing software maker Adobe Systems has pushed out security patches to cover a potentially serious code execution flaw in the Adobe Creative Suite 2 platform. The flaw, which carries an "important" rating, affects Adobe Creative Suite 2, Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Illustrator CS2 on both Windows and Mac OS platforms.

San Jose, Calif.-based Adobe is working on a plan release security updates on a monthly cycle, but a spokesman told eWEEK that this batch of patches is not part of the scheduled updates that will be implemented later this year. According to a security bulletin from Adobe, the vulnerability could be exploited by malicious hackers launch security bypass, data manipulation and privilege escalation attacks.

Don't know why they have download links for all the different types of releases but it appears that the single download will patch both programs all together.

just what are you talking about?

aside from Bridge -- which was a new application to begin with, so you have no frame of reference -- there is no performance loss in CS2 compared to its predecessors (8.0,7.0.. obviously older versions will be much faster).. everything runs as peachy as it did with CS for me..

that said, i really hate Bridge.. i liked the file browser in 7.0 and CS, because it was instantaneous and it didn't shove features down my throat.. Bridge was not needed as there are other file browsing apps that do just that much better.. but then again, Adobe decided it was a good workspace that tied every app together, much like VersionCue (another program i find no use of.. i don't need Adobe to keep track of my file versions, i can handle it on my own, thank you very much).. meh.. to each their own.. i guess some people have use of it..
