Title: Adobe Reader and Acrobat 'newplayer()' JavaScript Method Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Adobe Reader and Acrobat are applications for handling PDF files.
The software is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability when handling specially crafted PDF files. Specifically, this issue is caused by a use-after-free error in the 'newplayer()' method of the 'Doc.media' JavaScript object.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.
This issue affects Reader and Acrobat 9.2 and prior versions.
