Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat for Mac OS, which may grant elevated permissions on certain folders or can be exploited by malicious people to execute arbitrary local programs on a user's system.
1) An unspecified error can be exploited to execute arbitrary programs already installed on a user's system via a specially crafted PDF document containing JavaScript.
2) A security issue in the updater causes Safari Frameworks folder permissions to be elevated for all users when downloading updates.
The vulnerabilities affect versions 7.0 and 7.0.1 for Mac OS.
