Post by: datahell on April 01, 2010, 09:18:36

Didier Stevens found a way to exploit PDF files without vulnerability. A possible hacker is able to run any executable file he wishes. Depending on the PDF reader application used the user might see a dialog box or not, although the content of this dialog may also be modified.
