A vulnerability has been identified in Adobe Document Server and Adobe Graphics Server, which could be exploited by attackers to disclose sensitive information, overwrite arbitrary files, or execute arbitrary commands. This flaw is due to errors in the "loadContent", "saveContent", and "saveOptimized" ADS (Adobe Document Server) commands that allow graphics or PDF files with arbitrary extensions to be retrieved from or saved to the server using File URIs via the AlterCast web service (port 8019), which could be exploited by attackers to write arbitrary files (e.g. in the startup folder) via a specially crafted SOAP request and execute arbitrary commands.
