54 |
<li> |

58 |
</li> |
59 |

<impact type="normal"> |
81 |
<p> |
82 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF |
83 |
document, and local attackers could entice a user to run acroread from |
84 |
an untrusted working directory. Both might result in the execution of |
85 |
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, |
86 |
or a Denial of Service. |
87 |
</p> |
