More flaws have been found in how Adobe Acrobat handles PDF files that allows them to be transports for malware installation. These flaws can be used to exploit PDF to install gain complete control of a remote machine and completely silently.

PDF files are commonly transferred by email in the business environment and embedded into websites. Because PDF files are common trusted to be a safe medium and have wide spread usage these flaws are a huge attack vector.

This exploit appears to be limited to Adobe Acrobat versions 7.0, 8.0, and 8.1.
