Adobe exploit puts backdoor on computers
By
Trend Micro has found a zero-day exploit targeting Adobe Reader and 9.1.3 and earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat. The exploit drops a backdoor onto computers using JavaScript. The CNET article states that Adobe is releasing a patch this Tuesday to coincide with Microsoft’s patch Tuesday.
Trend Micro identified the exploit as a Trojan horse dubbed “Troj_Pidief.Uo” in a blog post. It arrives as a PDF file containing JavaScript-based malware, “Js_Agent.Dt,” and then drops a backdoor called “Bkdr_Protux.Bd.”
