Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Reader versions 7.0 through 7.0.8

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long argument string to the src, setPageMode, setLayoutMode, and setNamedDest methods in an AcroPDF ActiveX control.
