Descriptions

Adobe Reader 11.0.06 allows attackers to bypass a PDF sandbox protection mechanism via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by VUPEN during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2014.

Adobe Reader 11.0.06 permite a atacantes evadir un mecanismo de protección sandbox 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 file writes. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate user-supplied paths. An attacker can leverage this to execute code outside the context of the sandbox.
