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.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Adobe Acrobat Reader (acroread) before 7.0.8 have unknown impact and 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 Adobe products, including (1) Photoshop CS2, (2) Illustrator CS2, and (3) Adobe Help Center, install a large number of .EXE and .DLL files with write-access permission for the Everyone group, which allows local users to gain privileges via Trojan horse programs.

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.

The digital signature mechanism for the Adobe Acrobat PDF viewer only verifies the PE header of executable code for a plug-in, which can allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in certified mode by making the plug-in appear to be signed by Adobe.

acroread in Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.05 on Linux allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

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 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.
