Adobe Acrobat and Reader Buffer Overflow Snort Rules
Summary: Cisco Talos released Snort rules on February 20, 2009, to detect attacks targeting a buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat and Reader. The post by Nigel Houghton points readers to the rule details at a snort.org advisory page dated the same day.
Bottom line: The rules arrived only after the flaw was public enough to draw attacks, so detection depended on defenders picking up and deploying the signatures in time.
