Buffer overflow in Adobe Acrobat ActiveX control (pdf.ocx, PDF.PdfCtrl.1) 1.3.188 for Acrobat Reader 4.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the pdf.setview method.

Buffer overflow in Adobe Acrobat 4.05, Reader, Business Tools, and Fill In products that handle PDF files allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long /Registry or /Ordering specifier.

libCoolType library as used in Adobe Acrobat (acroread) on Linux creates the AdobeFnt.lst file with world-writable permissions, which allows local users to modify the file and possibly modify acroread's behavior.

Buffer overflow in the WWWLaunchNetscape function of Adobe Acrobat Reader (acroread) 5.0.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .pdf file with a long mailto link.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the OutputDebugString function for Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PDF document with XML Forms Data Format (XFDF) data.

Buffer overflow in the ActiveX component (pdf.ocx) for Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5 and Acrobat Reader, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a URI for a PDF file with a null terminator (%00) followed by a long string.

The uudecoding feature in Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 and 5.0.6 for Unix and Linux, and possibly other versions including those before 5.0.9, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters ("`" or backtick) in the filename of the PDF file that is provided to the uudecode command.

Buffer overflow in the uudecoding feature for Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 and 5.0.6 for Unix and Linux, and possibly other versions including those before 5.0.9, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename for the PDF file that is provided to the uudecode command.

Adobe Reader 6.0 does not properly handle null characters when splitting a filename path into components, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a file with a long extension that is not normally handled by Reader, triggering a buffer overflow.

Buffer overflow in the mailListIsPdf function in Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.09 for Unix allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an e-mail message with a crafted PDF attachment.

Format string vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0.0 through 6.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an .ETD document containing format string specifiers in (1) title or (2) baseurl fields.

The Adobe Reader control in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 7.0 and 7.0.1 allows remote attackers to determine the existence of files via Javascript containing XML script, aka the "XML External Entity vulnerability."

Buffer overflow in a "core application plug-in" for Adobe Reader 5.1 through 7.0.2 and Acrobat 5.0 through 7.0.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

Adobe Document Server for Reader Extensions 6.0 does not provide proper access control, which allows remote authenticated users to perform privileged actions by modifying the (1) actionID and (2) pageID parameters. NOTE: due to an error during reservation, this identifier was inadvertently associated with multiple issues. Other CVE identifiers have been assigned to handle other problems that are covered by the same disclosure.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Adobe Acrobat Reader (acroread) before 7.0.8 have unknown impact and unknown vectors.

Adobe Reader and Acrobat 7.0.8 and earlier allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute code via a crafted PDF file that triggers memory corruption and overwrites a subroutine pointer during rendering.

Adobe Reader (Adobe Acrobat Reader) 7.0 through 7.0.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long argument string to the LoadFile method in an AcroPDF ActiveX control.

Adobe Reader (Adobe Acrobat Reader) 7.0 through 7.0.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long argument string to the (1) src, (2) setPageMode, (3) setLayoutMode, and (4) setNamedDest methods in an AcroPDF ActiveX control, a different set of vectors than CVE-2006-6027.

Double free vulnerability in the Adobe Acrobat Reader Plugin before 8.0.0, as used in Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.7, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by causing an error via a javascript: URI call to document.write in the (1) FDF, (2) XML, or (3) XFDF AJAX request parameters.

CRLF injection vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat Reader Plugin before 8.0.0, when used with the Microsoft.XMLHTTP ActiveX object in Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via CRLF sequences in the javascript: URI in the (1) FDF, (2) XML, or (3) XFDF AJAX request parameters.

The Adobe PDF specification 1.3, as implemented by Adobe Acrobat before 8.0.0, allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact, possibly including denial of service (infinite loop), arbitrary code execution, or memory corruption, via a PDF file with a (1) crafted catalog dictionary or (2) a crafted Pages attribute that references an invalid page tree node.

Unspecified vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat and Reader 8.1 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file, related to the mailto: option and Internet Explorer 7 on Windows XP. NOTE: this information is based upon a vague pre-advisory by a reliable researcher.

Multiple buffer overflows in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.1.1 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with long arguments to unspecified JavaScript methods. NOTE: this issue might be subsumed by CVE-2008-0655.

Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file that calls an insecure JavaScript method in the EScript.api plug-in. NOTE: this issue might be subsumed by CVE-2008-0655.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.1.1 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a malicious Security Provider library in the reader's current working directory. NOTE: this issue might be subsumed by CVE-2008-0655.
