Adobe Acrobat and Reader Unspecified Memory Corruption Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability
Vulnerability Disclosed: 8/16/2012, CVSS Base: 10.0, Temporal: 7.4
Adobe Acrobat and Reader contain a memory corruption vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on a targeted system.
The vulnerability is due to an unspecified memory corruption error in the affected software. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit the vulnerability by convincing a user to view a website or open a file that is designed to pass malicious input to the affected software. When processed, the input could cause a memory corruption error in the software. The attacker could use the memory corruption to execute arbitrary code or cause a DoS condition on the system.
Adobe has confirmed the vulnerability and released updated software.

BaoFeng Storm mps.dll ActiveX Control Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability
Vulnerability Disclosed: 8/10/2010
BaoFeng Storm versions prior to 3.9 contain a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on the targeted system.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient sanitization of user input supplied to the nBeforeVideoDownload() method that is implemented in the mps.dll ActiveX control of the affected software. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to visit a malicious website designed to pass overly large input to the affected method. The processing of the input could result in a stack-based buffer overflow. The attacker could use this overflow to execute arbitrary code under the security context of the targeted user. Failed exploit attempts could lead to abnormal termination of the browser, causing a DoS condition.
Reports suggest that additional arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities also exist in the product. They could exist in Config.dll and CreateChinagames() method in CGAgent.dll ActiveX controls. Exploits are currently being observed in the wild; exploits are most common in China, where the affected product is a frequently used media player.
Proof-of-concept code that exploits this vulnerability is publicly available.
Administrators are advised to implement an intrusion prevention system (IPS) or intrusion detection system (IDS) to help detect and prevent attacks that attempt to exploit this vulnerability. Administrators may consider setting the kill bit on the following CLSIDs: 6BE52E1D-E586-474F-A6E2-1A85A9B4D9FB, BD103B2B-30FB-4F1E-8C17-D8F6AADBCC05, and 75108B29-202F-493C-86C5-1C182A485C4C.
