Descriptions
Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x before 10.1.15 and 11.x before 11.0.12, Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Classic before 2015.006.30060, and Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Continuous before 2015.008.20082 on Windows and OS X allow attackers to cause a denial of service via invalid data.
Adobe Reader y Acrobat 10.x anterior a 10.1.15 y 11.x anterior a 11.0.12, Acrobat y Acrobat Reader DC Classic anterior a 2015.006.30060 y Acrobat y Acrobat Reader DC Continuous anterior a 2015.008.20082 en Windows y OS X permite a atacantes provocar una denegación de servicio a través de datos no válidos.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to delete files on vulnerable installations of Adobe Reader. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of junction points in AdobeARM.exe. A local attacker running code as a normal user can set up a junction point in the ARM folder and then run a user control which will delete the contents of the folder. An attacker could use this to create a denial-of-service condition under the context of the SYSTEM user.
