RHSA-2010:0114: Critical: acroread security and bug fix update
First published: Thu Feb 18 2010(Updated: )
Adobe Reader allows users to view and print documents in Portable Document<br>Format (PDF).<br>This update fixes two vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader. These<br>vulnerabilities are summarized on the Adobe Security Advisory APSB10-07<br>page listed in the References section. A specially-crafted PDF file could<br>cause Adobe Reader to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the<br>user running Adobe Reader when opened. (CVE-2010-0186, CVE-2010-0188)<br>This update also fixes a bug where, on some systems, attempting to install<br>or upgrade the acroread packages failed due to a package dependency issue.<br>(BZ#557506)<br>All Adobe Reader users should install these updated packages. They contain<br>Adobe Reader version 9.3.1, which is not vulnerable to these issues and<br>fixes this bug. All running instances of Adobe Reader must be restarted for<br>the update to take effect.
