Heap-based buffer overflow in the JBIG2 filter in Adobe Reader 7 and Acrobat 7 before 7.1.3, Adobe Reader 8 and Acrobat 8 before 8.1.6, and Adobe Reader 9 and Acrobat 9 before 9.1.2 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-0510, CVE-2009-0511, CVE-2009-0888, and CVE-2009-0889.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Adobe Reader and Acrobat flaw in the JBIG2 PDF image filter. A malicious PDF could potentially run code on a user’s machine. The main business risk is older, unsupported systems that still open untrusted PDFs in affected Adobe versions. Exposure is most likely on legacy workstations, virtual desktop images, kiosks, or archived systems running Adobe Reader/Acrobat 7 before 7.1.3, 8 before 8.1.6, or 9 before 9.1.2. Prioritize remediation where old Adobe PDF software remains in production or sensitive environments. This is not a modern zero-day signal from the provided sources, but arbitrary code execution through PDF handling is high impact. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Adobe Reader/Acrobat versions to 7.1.3, 8.1.6, 9.1.2, or later.; Remove unsupported Adobe Reader/Acrobat 7, 8, and 9 installations where feasible.; Check Adobe APSB09-07 and relevant OS vendor advisories for package-specific guidance..
