A buffer overflow has been discovered in the
|
|
|
|
|
UnixAppOpenFilePerform() function, which is called when Adobe Acrobat
|
|
|
|
|
Reader tries to open a file with the "\Filespec" tag.

<impact type="normal">
|

|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
By enticing a user to open a specially crafted PDF document, a
|
|
|
|
|
remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary
|
|
|
|
|
code.
|
|

<workaround>

|
|
|
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

|
Since Adobe will most likely not update the 5.0 series of Adobe
|
|
|
|
|
Acrobat Reader for Linux, all users should upgrade to the latest
|
|
|
|
|
available version of the 7.0 series:

# emerge --sync
|
|
|

|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/acroread-7.0"</code>
