Descriptions
Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.2, 8.x before 8.1.7, and possibly 7.x through 7.1.4 do not properly perform XMP-XML entity expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted document.
Adobe Reader y Acrobat v9.x anteriores a la v9.2, v8.x anteriores a la v8.1.7 y posiblemente v7.x hasta la v7.1.4 no realizan apropiadamente la expansión de entidades XMP-XML, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provacar una denegación de servicio a través de un documento modificado.
