Madrid, June 29, 2005 - Adobe has reported, at
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331709.html, a vulnerability in
Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat for Mac OS, which could allow a remote
attacker to run arbitrary applications on affected systems.
The flaw could allow a remote attacker to create a PDF file containing
specially crafted JavaScript code. When the target user opened the PDF
file, the script code could launch applications, providing that the
attacker knew the full path of the file. The applications would run with
the privileges of the target user.
Adobe has released version 7.0.2 of Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat that
fix this problem at: www.adobe.com/support/downloads/.
