Nuance PDF Reader is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data.

An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing a user to open a malicious PDF file.

Successful exploits may allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code or commands in the context of a user running the affected applications.
