This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Adobe Reader. A successful attack can lead to sensitive data exposure.
Extended Description
An issue was discovered in Adobe Acrobat and Reader: 2017.012.20098 and earlier versions, 2017.011.30066 and earlier versions, 2015.006.30355 and earlier versions, and 11.0.22 and earlier versions. This issue is due to an untrusted pointer dereference in the JavaScript engine.

The dereferencing operation is a read operation, and an attack can result in sensitive data exposure.
