Descriptions

Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x before 10.1.16 and 11.x before 11.0.13, Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Classic before 2015.006.30094, and Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Continuous before 2015.009.20069 on Windows mishandle junctions in the Synchronizer directory, which allows attackers to delete arbitrary files via Adobe Collaboration Sync, a related issue to CVE-2015-2428.

Adobe Reader y Acrobat 10.x en versiones anteriores a 10.1.16 y 11.x en versiones anteriores a 11.0.13, Acrobat y Acrobat Reader DC Classic en versiones anteriores a 2015.006.30094 y Acrobat y Acrobat Reader DC Continuous en versiones anteriores a 2015.009.20069 en Windows no maneja correctamente las uniones en el directorio Synchronizer, lo que permite a atacantes borrar archivos arbitrarios a través de Adobe Collaboration Sync, un caso relacionado con CVE-2015-2428.

This vulnerability allows local attackers to delete arbitrary files 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 junction points. An attacker running code in the context of a sandboxed Adobe Reader process can set up a junction point in the Synchronizer folder and then run Adobe Collaboration Sync which will delete the contents of the folder. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to delete files as a normal user from a sandboxed process.
