Israeli security expert Aviv Raff has discovered a vulnerability in Adobe's Download Manager (DLM), which can enable the installation of arbitrary software on a Windows PC.

"This is supposed to only be possible for software signed by Adobe and which originates from an Adobe website, but, due to one or more bugs, it is apparently possible to install and run other applications," according to The H Security. "Raff reports that he was able to install and run his own version of the Windows calculator."

"Raff is holding back on publishing details of the vulnerability until it has been fixed," the article states. "Adobe has confirmed the existence of the problem and together with security specialists and the company behind Download Manager is working on a solution."
