Synopsis
========
Adobe Reader is vulnerable to execution of arbitrary code via a crafted
PDF.
Background
==========
Adobe Reader (formerly Adobe Acrobat Reader) is a closed-source PDF
reader.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-text/acroread < 8.1.2-r3 >= 8.1.2-r3
Description
===========
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory reported that
input to an unspecified JavaScript method is not properly validated.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF
document, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code
with the privileges of the user.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Adobe Reader users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/acroread-8.1.2-r3"
