Adobe To Release Fix for Acrobat Security Hole
By Dian Schaffhauser
Excerpt:
The security hole is caused by boundary errors in the newplayer() JavaScript method in multimedia.api that can cause a computer to execute arbitrary code when a user opens a modified PDF file. The module, according to Core Security Technologies, runs a malicious Web site and waits for a user to trigger the exploit by connecting to the Web site through the PDF.
