---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hardcore Disassembler / Reverse Engineer Reversing must be a passion as your skills will be challenged on a daily basis and you will be working several hours everyday in IDA, Ollydbg, and with BinDiff. Often, it is also required that you write a PoC or even a working exploit to prove that an issue is exploitable. http://secunia.com/hardcore_disassembler_and_reverse_engineer/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Adobe Acrobat / Adobe Reader Insecure Default Permissions SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA21016 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/21016/ CRITICAL: Less critical IMPACT: Security Bypass, Manipulation of data, Privilege escalation WHERE: Local system OPERATING SYSTEM: Apple Macintosh OS X http://secunia.com/product/96/ SOFTWARE: Adobe Acrobat 6.x http://secunia.com/product/1809/ Adobe Reader 6.x http://secunia.com/product/1810/ DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability has been reported in Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to bypass certain security restrictions or gain escalated privileges. The vulnerability is caused due to insecure default file permissions being set on the installed files and folders. This allows any non-privileged users on the system to remove the files or replace them with malicious binaries. The vulnerability has been reported for Adobe Acrobat 6.0.4 and Adobe Reader 6.0.4 for Mac OS. Prior versions may be also affected.
