Descriptions

The JavaScript API in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.5.1 and 10.x before 10.1.3 on Mac OS X and Linux allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors.

La API JavaScript en Adobe Reader y Acrobat v9.x anteriores a v9.5.1 y v10.x anteriores a v10.1.3 en Mac OS X y Linuxm permite a atacantes ejecutar código o provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) a través de vectores no especificados.

Adobe Reader allows users to view and print documents in Portable Document Format. This update fixes multiple security flaws in Adobe Reader. These flaws are detailed on the Adobe security page APSB12-08, listed in the References section. A specially-crafted PDF file could cause Adobe Reader to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Adobe Reader when opened. All Adobe Reader users should install these updated packages. They contain Adobe Reader version 9.5.1, which is not vulnerable to these issues. All running instances of Adobe Reader must be restarted for the update to take effect.
