<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
An unspecified vulnerability can be triggered by a malformed PDF
|
|
document, as demonstrated by 2008-HI2.pdf (CVE-2008-2549).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|

|
|
MacManus reported a stack-based buffer overflow in the util.printf
|
|
JavaScript function that incorrectly handles the format string argument
|
|
(CVE-2008-2992).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Greg MacManus of iDefense Labs reported an array index error that can
|
|
be leveraged for an out-of-bounds write, related to parsing of Type 1
|
|
fonts (CVE-2008-4812).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Javier Vicente Vallejo and Peter Vregdenhil, via Zero Day Initiative,
|
|
reported multiple unspecified memory corruption vulnerabilities
|
|
(CVE-2008-4813).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Thomas Garnier of SkyRecon Systems reported an unspecified
|
|
vulnerability in a JavaScript method, related to an "input validation
|

|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Josh Bressers of Red Hat reported an untrusted search path
|
|
vulnerability (CVE-2008-4815).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Peter Vreugdenhil reported through iDefense that the Download Manager
|
|
can trigger a heap corruption via calls to the AcroJS function
|
|
(CVE-2008-4817).

</ul>

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF
|
|
document, and local attackers could entice a user to run acroread from
|
|
an untrusted working directory. Both might result in the execution of
|
|
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application,
|
|
or a Denial of Service.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Adobe Reader users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/acroread-8.1.3"</code>
