arbitrary javascript into the browser session which could possibly lead to
a cross site scripting attack. (CVE-2007-0045)
Two arbitrary code execution flaws were found in the way Adobe Reader
processes malformed document files. It may be possible to execute arbitrary
code on a victim's machine if the victim opens a malicious PDF file.
