  • Not really a fake.

    Adpbe said that this vulnerability does exist.

  • An error in how Adobe Reader parses PDF files lets hackers make a PDF that can launch a command on the computer of whoever tries to open the file. In this example (poc = proof of concept) Notepad and Calculator is launched, but it might as well be commands to add users to the system, or install a backdoor, etc.

    It is quite serious.

  • Can please anyone tell me where to find very specific information about that vulnerability? I'd like to study and recreate one calculator opener as my homework.

  • Hello guys, I need to convert a WMF document into PDF format. How do I do it?

  • YAY ... man i want that pdf / cpp source pleaaaaaaaase it is awesome stuff!

  • scemi

  • well... he was able to open a second program by opening a pdf... you can use it to open a exe (virus)...

  • kick ass

  • Hear hear. Either full disclosure, or keep it to yourself and notify the vendor. Anything in between is just advertising to better sell the exploit (if there is one at all) to the blackhats.

  • I thought so. This partial disclosure BS is useless. It serves no purpose to release something like this and the video does not prove anything.

  • Ok... Where??

  • Besides, use your head, and you'll know the age of physical media and costly communication is over, copyright and proprietary software have had their day. If it wasnt for them grasping onto the legal system they'd both be extinct. Microsoft are not going to cope if they dont pull out soon.
