This malicious program exploits vulnerability CVE-2007-5659.
Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader are vulnerable to multiple stack-based buffer overflows, caused by improper bounds checking by multiple unspecified JavaScript methods. The problems occur because the software fails to sufficiently validate a string's length before using it in several JavaScript methods. The 'Collab.collectEmailInfo()' method is affected; other methods are also vulnerable. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Other attacks are also possible.
Affected Versions:Adobe Reader 8.1.1 and earlier versions
Adobe Acrobat Professional, 3D and Standard 8.1.1 and earlier versions
