Summary

Multiple buffer overflows in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.1.1 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with long arguments to unspecified JavaScript methods. NOTE: this issue might be subsumed by CVE-2008-0655.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

    vulnerabilities :
    
      - A design error vulnerability may allow an attacker to
        gain control of a user's printer.
    
      - Multiple stack-based buffer overflows may allow an
        attacker to execute arbitrary code subject to the
        user's privileges.
    
      - Insecure loading of 'Security Provider' libraries may
        allow for arbitrary code execution.
    
      - An insecure method exposed by the JavaScript library
        in the 'EScript.api' plug-in allows direct control
        over low-level features of the object, which allows
        for execution of arbitrary code as the current user.
    
      - Two vulnerabilities in the unpublicized function
        'app.checkForUpdate()' exploited through a callback
        function could lead to arbitrary code execution in
        Adobe Reader 7.");
