This PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that exploits multiple known Adobe Reader vulnerabilities including CVE-2009-4324, CVE-2009-0927, CVE-2007-5659, and CVE-2008-2992. The JavaScript is obfuscated and appears to be designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The specific vulnerabilities targeted suggest an older exploit kit or a custom exploit.
