CVE-2010-1240

acroread: multiple code execution flaws (APSB10-15)

Published Apr 5, 2010 CVSS 2.0 · 9.3 Critical EPSS 73.6% KEV · Not listed
Description
Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.3.3, and 8.x before 8.2.3 on Windows and Mac OS X, do not restrict the contents of one text field in the Launch File warning dialog, which makes it easier for remote attackers to trick users into executing an arbitrary local program that was specified in a PDF document, as demonstrated by a text field that claims that the Open button will enable the user to read an encrypted message.
