TITLE

Adobe Reader and Acrobat Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

Unspecified vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.3.2, and 8.x before 8.2.2 on Windows and Mac OS X, allows attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0192 and CVE-2010-0193. This vulnerability CVE-2010-0192 and CVE-2010-0193 Is a different vulnerability.Service disruption by a third party (DoS) Could be put into a state or execute arbitrary code. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service. The following products are affected: Adobe Reader 9.3.1 and prior for Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1 and prior for Windows and Macintosh Adobe Reader 8.2.1 and prior for Windows and Macintosh Acrobat 8.2.1 and prior for Windows and Macintosh Note: This vulnerability was previously documented in BID 39329 (Adobe Acrobat and Reader April 2010 Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document the issue. Adobe released an advisory addressing multiple issues in Reader and Acrobat. I. These vulnerabilities affect Reader and Acrobat 9.3.1 and earlier 9.x versions, and 8.2.1 and earlier versions. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF file. The Adobe Reader browser plug-in is available for multiple web browsers and operating systems, which can automatically open PDF documents hosted on a website. II. III. For a fresh installation, first install Adobe Reader 9.3.0 or 8.2.0 and then use the automatic update feature or install the appropriate update referenced in APSB10-09. Acrobat JavaScript can be disabled using the Preferences menu (Edit -> Preferences -> JavaScript; uncheck Enable Acrobat JavaScript). Adobe provides a framework to blacklist specific JavaScipt APIs. If JavaScript must be enabled, this feature may be useful when specific APIs are known to be vulnerable or used in attacks. Prevent Internet Explorer from automatically opening PDF documents The installer for Adobe Reader and Acrobat configures Internet Explorer to automatically open PDF files without any user interaction. This behavior can be reverted to a safer option that prompts the user by importing the following as a .REG file: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7] "EditFlags"=hex:00,00,00,00 Disable the display of PDF documents in the web browser Preventing PDF documents from opening inside a web browser will partially mitigate this vulnerability. If this workaround is applied, it may also mitigate future vulnerabilities. To prevent PDF documents from automatically being opened in a web browser, do the following: 1. 2. Open the Edit menu. 3. Choose the Preferences option. 4. Choose the Internet section. 5. Uncheck the "Display PDF in browser" checkbox. Do not access PDF documents from untrusted sources Do not open unfamiliar or unexpected PDF documents, particularly those hosted on websites or delivered as email attachments.

Adobe Reader U3D CLODMeshDeclaration Shading Count Buffer Overflow TSL ID: FSC20100413-01 1. Specifically, the vulnerability is due to an integer overflow when processing the "Shading Count" field in the CLOD Mesh Declaration block, which may lead to a heap based buffer overflow and execution of arbitrary code. An unsuccessful attack can abnormally terminate the affected product. Workaround Avoid opening untrusted PDF files, or use an alternative application to process PDF files.
