The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The weakness exists due to integer overflow in the U3D implementation. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted .pdf file containing a malicious U3D mode, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system with privileges of the current user.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system.
