A vulnerability was identified in Adobe Acrobat Reader, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands. This flaw is due to a buffer overflow error in the "UnixAppOpenFilePerform()" function when handling documents containing a "/Filespec" tag, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF document.
