Severity: Normal Title: Adobe Acrobat Reader: Buffer overflow vulnerability Date: July 11, 2005 Bugs: #98101 ID: 200507-09

Synopsis ========
Adobe Acrobat Reader is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that could lead to remote execution of arbitrary code.
Background ==========
Adobe Acrobat Reader is a utility used to view PDF files.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-text/acroread <= 5.10 >= 7.0
Description ===========
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.
Impact ======
By enticing a user to open a specially crafted PDF document, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
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:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/acroread-7.0"
