Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader are affected by a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue presents itself because the application fails to perform boundary checks prior to copying user-supplied data into sensitive process buffers.

An attacker can exploit this issue by crafting a malicious PDF file and sending it to a vulnerable user. If the victim user opens this PDF file, the attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on the affected computer and gain unauthorized access in the context of the user.
