**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Adobe Reader and Acrobat versions 9.x prior to 9.3.3
Adobe Reader and Acrobat versions 8.x prior to 8.2.3
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to trick users into executing an arbitrary local program specified in a PDF document. This is due to the lack of restriction on the contents of a text field in the Launch File warning dialog, making it easier for attackers to deceive users. The vulnerability can be exploited by a specially crafted PDF file, potentially allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

For Adobe Reader and Acrobat versions 8.x prior to 8.2.3, update to version 8.2.3 or later.
