CVE-2004-0632: Buffer Overflow

First published: Fri Jul 16 2004(Updated: )

Adobe Reader 6.0 does not properly handle null characters when splitting a filename path into components, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a file with a long extension that is not normally handled by Reader, triggering a buffer overflow.
