Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description	A memory corruption vulnerability has been reported in Adobe Reader and Acrobat. The vulnerability is due to a 3D file parsing input validation error in Adobe Reader and Acrobat when parsing an external texture file in BMP format. A remote attacker could trigger this issue via a specially crafted BMP file that uses run-length encoding for its pixel data. Successful exploitation will create a denial of service condition, causing the application to become non-responsive, and may allow execution of arbitrary code once a malicious file is loaded on a vulnerable system.
