When a U3D CLODProgressiveMeshContinuation (blocktype: 0xFFFFFF3C) is parsed by Adobe Acrobat Reader U3D plugin the split position index is read from the input without any validation. That index is then used for getting an object out of the limits of the array, object from which a function pointer is dereferenced and called. Adobe Acrobat Reader version 8.1.6 and below and 9.1.3 and below are affected.

Title: U3D CLODProgressiveMeshContinuation Split Position Index arbitrary dereference.
Product: Adobe Acrobat Reader
Version: <=8.1.6, <=9.1.3
Product Homepage: www.adobe.com
CVE: 2009-2990
OSs: WinXPSPx/Linux
Vulnerability Description
-----------------------------------------
Universal 3D (U3D) is a compressed file format standard for 3D computer
graphics data.
When a U3D CLODProgressiveMeshContinuation (blocktype: 0xFFFFFF3C) is
parsed by Adobe acrobat reader U3D plugin the split position index is
readed from the input without any validation. That index is then used
for getting an object out of the limits of the array, object from wich a
function pointer is dereferenced and called.
From the u3d specification:
## 9.6.1.3.4.1 U32 [rCurrentPositionCount]: Split Position Index
# Split Position Index is the index of the position to be split by this
# Resolution Update.
Exploiting:
In acrobat using a well known js heap spray an attacker could control
the contents of the dereferenced object and execute arbitrary code.
Note that, at least for XP there is NO strict need to do the spray with JS/Flash.
An multiexploit for {Adobe Acrobat Reader/Multilingual}x{7.x, 8.x,
9.x}x{XPSP2, XPSP3, Linux} is provided as a .. PoC.
