Adobe Acrobat 9.1.2 NOS Local Privilege Escalation Exploit This exploit is based on the brief information provided by Nine:Situations:Group (http://securityreason.com/exploitalert/6674). Exploiting improper permissions is fun. A few notes are in order though. The getPlus service (that I tested, via 9.1.2) isn't installed as an "Automatic" service, therefore making it slightly harder (but not hard) to practically use to your advantage. But I tested running this code under a GUEST account and it worked pretty good (just the first time though). Change the values as needed, compile and run. Things could be more or less silent, lethal or non-lethal... it is completely up to you. Things cannot get much simpler than this :) Tested on Windows XP SP3 + Adobe Acrobat 9.1.2 (installed from adobe's download manager, then updated).
