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 and Acrobat 6.0.4 and earlier, on Mac OSX, has insecure file and directory permissions, which allows local users to gain privileges by overwriting program files.

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.

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.

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.
