The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote host is earlier than 9.1.1 / 8.1.5 / 7.1.2. Such versions reportedly fail to validate input from a specially crafted PDF file before passing it to the JavaScript method ‘getAnnots()’ leading to memory corruption and possibly arbitrary code execution.
