Description Josh Bressers 2007-01-17 22:13:45 UTC 
Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 7.0.9 and below suffers from a flaw which can
allow a malicious web page to launch a session riding attack on a site via the
Acrobat Reader plugin.  Here is a quote from the original advisory:


1. Universal CSRF and session riding

This is probably Adobe related as all tested browsers (IE,Firefox,Opera) where
affected. The issue is that by creating a special link like this:

http://site.com/file.pdf#FDF=http://victim.com/index.html?param=

automatically Adobe plugin sends a request to 'victim.com' without user
interaction asking for defined page in 'fdf' parameter. This could be used as a
Universal Session Riding (aka UCSRF) attack which is a well known vulnerability. 
Note that the same effect is accomplished by using 'xml' and 'xfdf' parameters.


This flaw also affects acroread as shipped in RHEL3
Comment 1 Josh Bressers 2007-01-17 22:14:18 UTC 
This is also going to affect RHEL5, since it will ship with acroread 7.0.9
