+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A buffer overflow has been discovered in the email processing of
+ Adobe Acrobat Reader. This flaw exists in the mailListIsPdf function,
+ which checks if the input file is an email message containing a PDF
+ file.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send the victim a specially-crafted email
+ and PDF attachment, which would trigger the buffer overflow and
+ possibly lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions
+ of the user running Adobe Acrobat Reader.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Adobe Acrobat Reader users should upgrade to the latest
+ version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/acroread-5.10"</code>
