Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x before 10.0.1, 9.x before 9.4.2, and 8.x before 8.2.6 on Windows and Mac OS X allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0563 and CVE-2011-0606.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Adobe Reader and Acrobat memory-corruption vulnerability that could let an attacker run code or crash the application if a vulnerable user processes malicious content. The sources identify fixed versions but do not describe the attack vector. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows or Mac OS X endpoints running the listed Adobe Reader or Acrobat versions. Modern environments are mainly exposed through unmanaged, forgotten, or offline systems with outdated PDF software. Treat this as a legacy cleanup and endpoint hygiene issue unless vulnerable software is still present. If affected versions remain in production, prioritize remediation because the impact includes code execution. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Adobe Reader and Acrobat to 10.0.1, 9.4.2, 8.2.6, or later as applicable.; Remove or replace unsupported legacy Adobe Reader and Acrobat installations.; Prioritize endpoints that open email attachments, downloaded PDFs, or externally supplied documents..
