Descriptions

Unspecified vulnerability in Adobe Reader 11.0.02 allows attackers to bypass the sandbox protection mechanism via unknown vectors, as demonstrated by George Hotz during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2013.

Vulnerabilidad no especificada en Adobe Reader v11.0.02 permite a atacantes remotos eludir el mecanismo de protección de sandbox a través de vectores no especificados, como demostró George Hotz durante la competición Pwn2Own en CanSecWest 2013.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Flash. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of regular expressions. The issue lies in the ability to leak addresses by popping more items off of the stack than intended. An attacker can leverage this to execute code under the context of the current user.
