+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Adobe Acrobat Reader is a utility used to view PDF files.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <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.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ 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:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-text/acroread-7.0&quot;</code>
