CVE-2009-1600 Information

Description

Apple Safari executes DOM calls in response to a javascript: URI in the target attribute of a submit element within a form contained in an inline PDF file which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended Adobe Acrobat JavaScript restrictions on accessing the document object as demonstrated by a web site that permits PDF uploads by untrusted users and therefore has a shared document.domain between the web site and this javascript: URI. NOTE: the researcher reports that Adobe’s position is \a PDF file is active content.\
