+ <p>
+ An attacker may create a specially-crafted PDF file, enticing a
+ user to open it. This could trigger a buffer overflow as the file is
+ being loaded, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.

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

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