CVE-2004-0629
Buffer overflow in the ActiveX component (pdf.ocx) for Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5 and Acrobat Reader, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a URI for a PDF file with a null terminator (%00) followed by a long string.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.07%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
