CVE-2008-0655 is an unspecified vulnerability affecting Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat before version 8.1.2. Available reporting associates the issue with the Collab.collectEmailInfo Acrobat JavaScript functionality and shows it was incorporated into exploit kits as a PDF-based client-side exploit sometimes labeled "PDF colEmail." Publicly available detail in the provided material does not identify the precise coding flaw, vulnerable code path, or memory corruption mechanism, so the exact root cause cannot be stated with confidence. The vulnerability was nevertheless treated operationally as a remotely triggerable document-based flaw in Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
