None of them are related to this vulnerability. As far as I know, the
issue is brand new.

Hi,
Too interesting and dangerous....Last couple of months there were PDF
spamming (Stocks Information) all over the internet..I analyzed those PDF i
didn't find any such thing....Did you checked them? Are they related to any
vulnerability?

I am closing the season with the following HIGH Risk vulnerability:
Adobe Acrobat/Reader PDF documents can be used to compromise your
Windows box. Completely!!! Invisibly and unwillingly!!! All it takes
is to open a PDF document or stumble across a page which embeds one.
The issue is quite critical given the fact that PDF documents are in
the core of today's modern business. This and the fact that it may
take a while for Adobe to fix their closed source product, are the
reasons why I am not going to publish any POCs. You have to take my
word for it. The POCs will be released when an update is available.
Adobe's representatives can contact me from the usual place. My advise
for you is not to open any PDF files (locally or remotely). Other PDF
viewers might be vulnerable too. The issues was verified on Windows XP
SP2 with the latest Adobe Reader 8.1, although previous versions and
other setups are also affected.
A formal summary and conclusion of the GNUCITIZEN bug hunt to be
expected soon.
cheers
Hi
Your point is right. But there are a number of factors other
than this
in exploiting pdf in other sense. My latest research is working over
the
exploitation of PDF.
Even if you look at the core then there are no restriction on READ in
PDF
in most of the versions. Only outbound data is filtered to some extent.
you
can even read /etc/passwd file from inside of PDF.
Other infection vector includes infection through Local Area Networks
through
sharing and printing PDF docs and all.
My upcoming research feature everything regarding this and the issue you
have
already discussed.
