986588 - Adobe Acrobat 10.1.* is marked as vulnerable on Windows Vista

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Plugin Check :: Database, defect)

Description

[Michał Gołębiowski-Owczarek [:mgol]]

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ shows Adobe Acrobat 10.1.9 as vulnerable on Windows Vista. Adobe Reader 11 is unavailable for this OS so this is the latest version available. It should be marked as up-to-date.

What's wrong with this if the latest version is indeed vulnerable?

[Alexander Stohr]

To my understanding, Adobe stated that they will have their reader only for an OS newer than Vista with versions 11 or newer. Adobe stated further that they will continue providing security fixes for their Vista version with major revision 10. - i might be wrong but that's what i understood from their pages.
So if the latest item of major version 10 is permanently marked as vulnerable without a reason - then something is probably wrong with the marking the check reports.

I don't understand. It is permanently marked as vulnerable because it is actually vulnerable forever. Not releasing fix does not make the last version magically not vulnerable.
