** UNVERIFIABLE ** NOTE: this issue describes a problem that can not be independently verified as of 20050421. Adobe Acrobat reader (AcroRd32.exe) 6.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service ("Invalid-ID-Handle-Error" error) and modify memory beginning at a particular address, possibly allowing the execution of arbitrary code, via a crafted PDF file. NOTE: the vendor has stated that the reporter refused to provide sufficient details to confirm the issue. In addition, due to the lack of details in the original advisory, an independent verification is not possible. Finally, the reliability of the original reporter is unknown. This item has only been assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes, and to serve as a concrete example of the newly defined UNVERIFIABLE and PRERELEASE content decisions in CVE, which must be discussed by the Editorial Board. Without additional details or independent verification by reliable sources, it is highly likely that this item will be REJECTED.Show less

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.Show less

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.Show less

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.Show less

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.Show less

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.Show less

Adobe Acrobat Reader (acroread) 6, under certain circumstances when running with the "Certified plug-ins only" option disabled, loads plug-ins with signatures used for older versions of Acrobat, which can allow attackers to cause Acrobat to enter Certified mode and run untrusted plugins by modifying the CTIsCertifiedMode function.Show less

Adobe Acrobat 5 does not properly validate JavaScript in PDF files, which allows remote attackers to write arbitrary files into the Plug-ins folder that spread to other PDF documents, as demonstrated by the W32.Yourde virus.Show less

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.Show less

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.Show less

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.Show less
