Notes:

- Reproduces on Adobe Reader X (10.1.12) and Adobe Reader XI (11.0.09) for 
Windows, on Windows 7, with Application Verifier enabled.

- The crash occurs after navigating to the ~6th page of the POC document.

- The “EAX” register points at the end boundary of a heap allocation.

- Based on the type of memory reference of the crashing instruction, we can 
assume this is a heap-based buffer overflow.

- Attached samples: signal_sigsegv_f753bec6_7517_6052.pdf (crashing file), 
6052.pdf (original file).

This bug is subject to a 90 day disclosure deadline. If 90 days elapse without 
a broadly available patch, then the bug report will automatically become 
visible to the public.

The vendor communication timeline is as follows:

10/30/14 Vulnerability is reported to Adobe PSIRT.
10/31/14 Adobe PSIRT confirms reception of the reports and assigns internal 
case ID (PSIRT-3109).
12/05/14 Adobe PSIRT informs us that the vulnerability would be fixed in next 
Tuesday's Acrobat and Reader security bulletins, and assigns CVE-2014-9160 for 
the issue.
12/08/14 Adobe PSIRT sends and update claiming that the issue is fixed for 
Windows, but the vendor has been unable to introduce a fix in the update for 
Mac, so the case is kept open until an update is released for Mac.
01/27/15 We send a heads-up to Adobe that the 90 day deadline elapses on the 
next day and we will remove the view restriction.

We have reproduced the crash on a fully updated Adobe Reader for Mac. We are 
currently not aware of any mitigations for the vulnerability.
