The Adobe Reader control in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 7.0 and 7.0.1 allows remote attackers to determine the existence of files via Javascript containing XML script, aka the XML External Entity vulnerability.

Weakness

The product processes an XML document that can contain XML entities with URIs that resolve to documents outside of the intended sphere of control, causing the product to embed incorrect documents into its output.
