Adobe Reader and Acrobat Huffman-encoded JBIG2 Text Heap Overflow Vulnerability

Adobe Reader and Acrobat are prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability.

An attacker can exploit these issues by tricking a victim into opening a malicious file to execute arbitrary code and to cause denial-of-service conditions.

NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 35274 (Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.1.1 and Prior Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own record to better document it.
