Description:
Jelmer has discovered a vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.
The problem is that embedded Macromedia flash files are executed in a local context. This can be exploited to read local files by embedding a specially crafted flash file in a PDF file located on e.g. a malicious web site.
The vulnerability has been confirmed on Adobe Reader 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 for Windows.
