Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description	Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Adobe Reader and Acrobat when handling PDF files that contain embedded Adobe Flash movies. A remote attacker could trigger these flaws via a specially crafted PDF file. Successful exploitation will create a denial of service condition, causing the application to crash, and may allow execution of arbitrary code once a malicious PDF file is loaded on a vulnerable system. There are cases in which certain traffic, although not intended for malicious use, is very unsafe, since it may transfer shellcode which is undetectable by IPS.
