This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x before 10.0.1, 9.x before 9.4.2, and 8.x before 8.2.6 on Windows and Mac OS X allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary Web script or HTML through unspecified vectors. A successful attack can result in remote code execution.
Adobe Acrobat and Reader are prone to an unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks. Adobe Reader and Acrobat versions prior to 9.4.2 and 10.0.1 are affected.
