Desbordamiento de buffer en 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 ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores no especificados.

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 arguments passed to the makeMeasurement method. Specially crafted arguments passed to makeMeasurement, can overflow a buffer of size 0x64 bytes. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
