The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote host is earlier than 8.1.1. Such versions allow execution of arbitrary code by means of a specially crafted PDF file with a malicious ‘mailto:’ link.

Note that the issue only exists on systems running Windows XP or Windows 2003 with Internet Explorer 7.0.
