HTTP: Adobe Reader printSeps Memory Corruption
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known memory corruption vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat and Reader products. It is due to a design error when parsing PDF files containing a JavaScript call to the Doc.printSeps method. Remote attackers can exploit this by enticing target users to open the malicious PDF document in a vulnerable version of Adobe Reader. A successful attack allows for arbitrary code injection and execution with the privileges of the currently logged in user. If the code execution fails, the vulnerable application can terminate abnormally.
Extended Description
Adobe Reader is prone to a remote memory-corruption vulnerability. Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. Adobe Reader versions 9.4.0 and 8.1.7 are affected; other versions may also be vulnerable.
