Signature Detail

HTTP: PDF U3D RHAdobeMeta Buffer Overflow

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the user.

Extended Description

Adobe Reader and Acrobat are prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because they fail to adequately bounds-check user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue by tricking a victim into opening a malicious file to execute arbitrary code and to cause denial-of-service conditions. NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 35274 (Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.1.1 and Prior Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own record to better document it.
