DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Adobe Download Manager, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling
section names in the "dm.ini" file as created by Adobe Download
Manager when processing AOM files. This can be exploited to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted AOM or "dm.ini"
file.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when a
user e.g. visits a malicious website.

The vulnerability is reported in version 2.1 and earlier.
