Rule Release for Today, Thursday July 1st, 2010
Summary: Cisco Talos released Snort rules on Thursday, July 1, 2010, for a remote code execution vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat and Reader. The post notes that some were describing the issue as a denial of service, while Talos states RCE is possible.
Bottom line: A flaw in Acrobat and Reader reaches users through documents they open as a matter of routine, and the disagreement over whether it is merely a denial of service or full remote code execution is the difference between a nuisance and an attacker running code on the endpoint.
