Mac OS X security flaw discovered in Preview

Mac OS X security flaw discovered in Preview

Heads up Mac OS X users, a security flaw has been spotted in Apple's Preview application, the default app used to open image and PDF files. It was discovered by Christian Kienle, a developer for several Mac apps, and while it may not seem like a huge flaw, for those who deal with sensitive PDF files on a daily occasional basis this could be an issue. In the Preview app, you can select a portion of the PDF file, copy it and then paste it into a new file.
