Title: Adobe Reader and Acrobat (CVE-2009-2994) U3D 'CLODMeshDeclaration' Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Adobe Reader and Acrobat are applications for handling PDF files.

The applications are prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because they fail to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. This issue occurs in Universal 3D (U3D) formatted files when the 'CLODMeshDeclaration' box contains specially crafted values for the 'positionCount' and 'minimalResolution' fields.

An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting victim to open a malicious PDF document.

Successful exploits may allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected applications. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

This issue affects versions *prior to* Reader and Acrobat 7.1.4, 8.1.7, and 9.2.

This issue was previously covered in BID 36638 (Adobe Reader and Acrobat October 2009 Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities), but has been given its own record to better document it.
