[Full-disclosure] email attack vector just got wider

[Micheal Espinola Jr <michealespinola@xxxxxxxxx>]

It seems most people I know haven't noticed that the new version of Adobe 
Acrobat (7) now allows for embedded/attached documents.
 Since PDF's have generally been considered a safe document format and are 
typically not blocked by content/attachment scanners, this now opens an 
email-based attack vector that anti-virus providers [to the best of my 
knowledge] are not currently addressing.
 Many thanks to Adobe for creating another issue for us to deal with, and 
especially for not having the forethought to coordinate with anti-virus 
vendors to prepare for assuredly future exploitation of the technology.
