user to open it. This could trigger a buffer overflow as the file is
being loaded, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.

<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>

All Adobe Reader users should upgrade to the latest version:

<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-text/acroread-7.0.1.1&quot;</code>
