Description

 Adobe Document/Graphics Server contain a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure, an arbitrary file overwrite, or a compromised system. The issue is caused due to the 'loadContent', 'saveContent', and 'saveOptimized' ADS (Adobe Document Server) commands allowing graphics or PDF files to be retrieved from or saved to arbitrary locations on the server using File URIs via the AlterCast web service. A malicious user can exploit this to run arbitrary commands during user logins resulting in a loss of integrity.
