A PDF file that may contain an exploit?!

Jun 29, 2012 6:27 AM

I have a PDF file that tries to download content from amazon.com, and asks me to aprove, the second weird thing is it's bookmark tab that displays some weird .tmp files. It sure looks like a Reader exploit to me, can you please confirm and send this to a dev team?

Thank you.

 

NEVER post links to files which may contain malware, even when asking for our opinions.

    It sounds as if the pdf file is

    a) badly constructed

    b) contains malware

    c) both

     

    Have you contacted the creator of the pdf?

    No. Unfortunately I cannot trace back to the original user. It may be intentionally created or it was a byproduct of a infected system that distributes this kind of files to do some damage or spread.. who knows. It may be a false alarm alltogether.
