Microsoft Reader Uninitialized Pointer Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Reader. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the handling of PDF files. By providing a malformed PDF file, an attacker can cause an uninitialized pointer to be dereferenced. An attacker could leverage this to execute arbitrary code under the context of the process.
