CVE-2014-9150

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.4)—

Race condition in the MoveFileEx call hook feature in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 11.x before 11.0.09 on Windows allows attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism, and consequently write to files in arbitrary locations, via an NTFS junction attack, a similar issue to CVE-2014-0568.

CVSS
