NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream acroread package and not the acroread package as distributed by Ubuntu.
The NtSetInformationFile system call hook feature in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x before 10.1.12 and 11.x before 11.0.09 on Windows allows attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism, and consequently execute native code in a privileged context, via an NTFS junction attack.
