Description:
Several vulnerabilities were reported in Adobe Reader. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
A remote user can create a specially crafted PDF file that, when loaded by the target user, will execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
Stack overflows exist in JavaScript methods [CVE-2007-5659].
An insecure method exists in the JavaScript library [CVE-2007-5663].
An unsafe library path for "Security Provider" libraries exists [CVE-2007-5666].
An integer overflow exists in a JavaScript function [CVE-2008-0726].
A vulnerability in the Javascript DOC.print() function lets remote users control printers [CVE-2008-0667].
Acrobat and Adobe Reader 7.0.9 and prior versions are also affected by some of these vulnerabilities.
Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry of the Google Security Team, cocoruder of Fortinet Security Research Team, Greg MacManus of iDefense Labs, and Paul Craig of Security-Assessment.com reported these vulnerabilities. An anonymous researcher reported one vulnerability via TippingPoint.
