Adobe Acrobat/Reader File Name Handler Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Adobe Acrobat/Reader File Name Handler Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Adobe Acrobat and Reader are prone to a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability.

This issue exists in routines that parse document filenames. A malformed file name may trigger this condition when the file is opened.

If a user could be enticed to open an appropriately named document, this could potentially allow for remote code execution.

This issue appears to affect Adobe Acrobat and Reader 6.x releases on Microsoft Windows platforms.
