COMPLETE Summary
The NtSetInformationFile system call hook feature in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x before 10.1.12 and 11.x before 11.0.09 on Windows allows attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism, and consequently execute native code in a privileged context, via an NTFS junction attack.
