* This signature is not blocked by default, because it blocks any PDF containing JavasScript.  However, this signature does detect exploits that are currently in the wild and can be used if your organization wants a lock-down mode to block current exploits.  Additional coverage is under investigation.
** This signature is blocked in the default policy.
*** This signature blocks malicious web pages hosting a new PDF variant discovered by ISS Managed Security Services on Dec. 18, 2009.

Detailed Description

Business Impact:
This vulnerability could result in remote code execution if a victim opens a specially-crafted PDF (portable document format) file.   Adobe Acrobat and Acrobat Reader are vulnerable and, at the time of publication, had no patch available.  Links to these malicious documents can easily be sent through spam or through links on seemingly non-malicious Web sites. Active exploitation led to the discovery of this vulnerability.
