<p>
Adobe Reader (formerly Adobe Acrobat Reader) is a closed-source PDF
reader.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<ul>
<li>
An unspecified vulnerability can be triggered by a malformed PDF
document, as demonstrated by 2008-HI2.pdf (CVE-2008-2549).
</li>
<li>
Peter Vreugdenhil, Dyon Balding, Will Dormann, Damian Frizza, and Greg
MacManus reported a stack-based buffer overflow in the util.printf
JavaScript function that incorrectly handles the format string argument
(CVE-2008-2992).
</li>
<li>
Greg MacManus of iDefense Labs reported an array index error that can
be leveraged for an out-of-bounds write, related to parsing of Type 1
fonts (CVE-2008-4812).
</li>
<li>
Javier Vicente Vallejo and Peter Vregdenhil, via Zero Day Initiative,
reported multiple unspecified memory corruption vulnerabilities
(CVE-2008-4813).
</li>
<li>
Thomas Garnier of SkyRecon Systems reported an unspecified
vulnerability in a JavaScript method, related to an "input validation
issue" (CVE-2008-4814).
</li>
<li>
Josh Bressers of Red Hat reported an untrusted search path
vulnerability (CVE-2008-4815).
</li>
<li>
Peter Vreugdenhil reported through iDefense that the Download Manager
can trigger a heap corruption via calls to the AcroJS function
(CVE-2008-4817).
</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF
document, and local attackers could entice a user to run acroread from
an untrusted working directory. Both might result in the execution of
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application,
or a Denial of Service.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Adobe Reader users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/acroread-8.1.3"</code>
</resolution>
