Adobe Reader U3D Processing Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

CVE ID	CVE-2013-2727
CVSS SCORE	7.5, AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
AFFECTED VENDORS	Adobe
AFFECTED PRODUCTS	Reader
TREND MICRO CUSTOMER PROTECTION	Trend Micro TippingPoint IPS customers are protected against this vulnerability by Digital Vaccine protection filter ID ['12930']. For further product information on the TippingPoint IPS: http://www.tippingpoint.com
VULNERABILITY DETAILS	This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Reader 10.1.4 on OSX. 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 parsing a U3D file within a PDF. The parsing code fails to validate a value from the file used as size parameter for an allocation routine. This could lead to an integer overflow resulting in an out-of-bound index into a list of objects. This results in an attacker being able to specify an arbitrary value for a function pointer, which leads to the execution of arbitrary code.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS	Adobe has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More details can be found at: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb13-15.html
