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.

Adobe Acrobat and Acrobat Reader 6.0 allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a PDF file that contains an embedded Shockwave (swf) file that references files outside of the temporary directory.

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

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

Adobe eBook Reader allows a user to bypass restrictions for copy, print, lend, and give operations by backing up key data files, performing the operations, and restoring the original data files.

Adobe Dreamweaver 8 before 8.0.2 and MX 2004 can generate code that allows SQL injection attacks in the (1) ColdFusion, (2) PHP mySQL, (3) ASP, (4) ASP.NET, and (5) JSP server models.

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.

Adobe Document Server for Reader Extensions 6.0, during log on, provides different error messages depending on whether the user ID is valid or invalid, which allows remote attackers to more easily identify valid user IDs via brute force attacks.

Adobe Document Server for Reader Extensions 6.0 includes a user's session (jsession) ID in the HTTP Referer header, which allows remote attackers to gain access to PDF files that are being processed within that session.

security flaw

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.

The Connectables feature in Adobe PhotoDeluxe 3.1 prepends the Adobe directory to the CLASSPATH environment variable, which allows applets to run with higher privileges and remote attackers to gain privileges via an HTML e-mail message or a web page.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Adobe Document Server for Reader Extensions 6.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the actionID parameter in ads-readerext and (2) the op parameter in AlterCast. NOTE: it is not clear whether the vendor advisory addresses this issue.

Adobe Document Server for Reader Extensions 6.0 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script via a leading (1) ftp or (2) http URI in the ReaderURL variable in the "Update Download Site" section of ads-readerext. NOTE: it is not clear whether the vendor advisory addresses this issue. In addition, since the issue requires administrative privileges to exploit, it is not clear whether this crosses security boundaries.

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.

Adobe LiveCycle Workflow 7.01 and LiveCycle Forum Manager 7.01 allows users to authenticate and perform privileged actions when their account is marked "OBSOLETE" but the account is also active, within the authentication system.

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.

security flaw

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.

The library feature for Adobe Content Server 3.0 allows a remote attacker to check out an eBook even when the maximum number of loans is exceeded by accessing the "Add to bookbag" feature when the server reports that no more copies are available.

Adobe Graphics Server 2.0 and 2.1 (formerly AlterCast) and Adobe Document Server (ADS) 5.0 and 6.0 allows local users to read files with certain extensions or overwrite arbitrary files and execute code via a crafted SOAP request to the AlterCast web service in which the request uses the (1) saveContent or (2) saveOptimized ADS commands, or the (3) loadContent command.

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.
