Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2012-0777 is a memory corruption issue in the JavaScript API of Adobe Reader and Acrobat on Mac OS X and Linux. A malicious PDF or related interaction could let an attacker run code or crash the application. The bundle does not show active exploitation. Exposure is most likely where legacy Adobe Reader or Acrobat 9.x or 10.x remains installed on Mac OS X or Linux systems, especially systems that open untrusted PDF content. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete, so validate against installed software rather than relying on CPE data. Treat as a high-priority legacy software cleanup issue. The business risk is code execution through a common document workflow, but urgency is reduced where the affected Adobe versions are no longer present or are isolated from untrusted PDFs. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Adobe Reader or Acrobat 9.x to 9.5.1 or later where applicable.; Upgrade Adobe Reader or Acrobat 10.x to 10.1.3 or later where applicable.; Prioritize Mac OS X and Linux endpoints with PDF-handling workflows..
