    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200907-06 (Adobe Reader: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code) Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Adobe Reader: Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research reported a heap-based buffer overflow in the JBIG2 filter (CVE-2009-0198). Mark Dowd of the IBM Internet Security Systems X-Force and Nicolas Joly of VUPEN Security reported multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the JBIG2 filter (CVE-2009-0509, CVE-2009-0510, CVE-2009-0511, CVE-2009-0512, CVE-2009-0888, CVE-2009-0889) Arr1val reported that multiple methods in the JavaScript API might lead to memory corruption when called with crafted arguments (CVE-2009-1492, CVE-2009-1493). An anonymous researcher reported a stack-based buffer overflow related to U3D model files with a crafted extension block (CVE-2009-1855). Jun Mao and Ryan Smith of iDefense Labs reported an integer overflow related to the FlateDecode filter, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-1856). Haifei Li of Fortinet

    descriptionUpdated acroread packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Extras, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extras, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Supplementary. This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. Adobe Reader allows users to view and print documents in Portable Document Format (PDF). Multiple security flaws were discovered in Adobe Reader. A specially crafted PDF file could cause Adobe Reader to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Adobe Reader when opened.

They contain Adobe Reader version 8.1.6, which is not vulnerable to these issues. All running instances of Adobe Reader must be restarted for the update to take effect.
