+  <description>
+    <p>
+    acroread contains two errors in the handling of UUEncoded filenames.
+    First, it fails to check the length of a filename before copying it
+    into a fixed size buffer and, secondly, it fails to check for the
+    backtick shell metacharacter in the filename before executing a command
+    with a shell.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    By enticing a user to open a PDF with a specially crafted filename, an
+    attacker could execute arbitrary code or programs with the permissions
+    of the user running acroread.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
+    upgrade to the latest available version of acroread.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All acroread users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
