What is CVE-2010-1240?

This weakness allows attackers to manipulate text fields, misleading users into executing local programs while accessing seemingly benign PDFs. For instance, an attacker can craft a document that misrepresents the functionality of the Open button, claiming it will lead to reading an encrypted message, thereby potentially compromising the user's machine.
