HTTP: Adobe Reader API Call Handling Arbitrary Code Execution

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Adobe Reader API. A successful attack can lead to memory corruption and arbitrary code execution.

Extended Description

The API in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x before 10.1.10 and 11.x before 11.0.07 on Windows and OS X does not prevent access to unmapped memory, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified API calls.
