A vulnerability has been identified in Adobe Download Manager, which could be exploited by remote attackers to take complete control of an affected system. This flaw is due to a buffer overflow error when extracting download instructions from a specially crafted AOM file and reading the entries from "dm.ini", which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary binaries on a vulnerable system by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted Web page.
