Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in Adobe Reader 11.0.06 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by VUPEN during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2014.

Desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica en Adobe Reader 11.0.06 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores no especificados, como fue demostrado por VUPEN durante una competición Pwn2Own en CanSecWest 2014.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Reader. 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 PDF417 barcodes. The issue lies in the failure to properly sanitize a user-supplied value. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code within the context of the current process.
