Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.3.3, and 8.x before 8.2.3 on Windows and Mac OS X, allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with crafted Flash content, involving the newfunction (0x44) operator and an "invalid pointer vulnerability" that triggers memory corruption, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-1285 and CVE-2010-2201.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A malicious PDF with embedded Flash content could cause vulnerable Adobe Reader or Acrobat versions to run attacker-controlled code. The business risk is highest where old Reader or Acrobat 8.x or 9.x installations remain on Windows or Mac systems. Exposure is limited to Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.3.3 and 8.x before 8.2.3 on Windows and Mac OS X, based on the supplied description. Evidence is incomplete for other platforms or product branches. Prioritize remediation if legacy Adobe Reader or Acrobat is still present. The issue enables code execution from a document file, but the provided evidence does not show active exploitation or exposure beyond old Windows and Mac installations. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Adobe Reader or Acrobat 9.x to 9.3.3 or later.; Upgrade Adobe Reader or Acrobat 8.x to 8.2.3 or later.; Review Adobe APSB10-15 for vendor-specific update guidance..
