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.

security flaw

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.

Adobe Macromedia MX 2004 products, Captivate, Contribute 2, Contribute 3, and eLicensing client install the Macromedia Licensing Service with the Users group permitted to configure the service, including the path to executable, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code as Local System.

Stack-based buffer overflow in an ActiveX control for the installer for Adobe Macromedia Shockwave Player 10.1.0.11 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted large values for unspecified parameters.

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.

security flaw

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.

The library feature for Adobe Content Server 3.0 allows a remote attacker to check out an eBook for an arbitrary length of time via a modified loanMin parameter to download.asp.

VCNative for Adobe Version Cue 1.0 and 1.0.1, as used in Creative Suite 1.0 and 1.3, and when running on Mac OS X with Version Cue Workspace, allows local users to load arbitrary libraries and execute arbitrary code via the -lib command line argument.

fm_fls license server for Adobe Framemaker allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and gain root access.

VCNative for Adobe Version Cue 1.0 and 1.0.1, as used in Creative Suite 1.0 and 1.3, and when running on Mac OS X with Version Cue Workspace, creates temporary log files with predictable names, which allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

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 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.

security flaw

The control for Adobe Reader 5.0.9 and 5.0.10 on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX creates temporary files with the permissions as specified in a user's umask, which could allow local users to read PDF documents of that user if the umask allows it.

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 library feature for Adobe Content Server 3.0 does not verify if a customer has already checked out an eBook, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) by checking out the same book multiple times.

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.

security flaw

Stack-based buffer overflow in the UnixAppOpenFilePerform function in Adobe Reader 5.0.9 and 5.0.10 for Unix allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PDF document with a long /Filespec tag.

Bridge | Heap-based Buffer Overflow (CWE-122)

Bridge versions 16.0.2, 15.1.4 and earlier are affected by a Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
