Description
Adobe Reader has been reported to contain a flaw that results in memory corruption and may allow for remote code execution. Based on the provided crash details and additional cursory testing by OSVDB, there is, however, no evidence to support the claims of memory corruption and the possibility of code execution. Instead, the flaw is triggering an out-of-bounds read access violation when parsing unspecified data. With a specially crafted PDF file, a context-dependent attacker can cause a crash, but not immediately execute arbitrary code.
