Synopsis
========

Adobe Acrobat Reader is vulnerable to remote code execution, Denial of
Service, and cross-site request forgery attacks.

Background
==========

Adobe Acrobat Reader is a PDF reader released by Adobe.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package            /  Vulnerable  /                    Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  app-text/acroread       < 8.1.2                          >= 8.1.2

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe Acrobat Reader,
including:

* A file disclosure when using file:// in PDF documents
  (CVE-2007-1199)

* Multiple buffer overflows in unspecified Javascript methods
  (CVE-2007-5609)

* An unspecified vulnerability in the Escript.api plugin
  (CVE-2007-5663)

* Incorrect handling of printers (CVE-2008-0667)

* An integer overflow when passing incorrect arguments to
  "printSepsWithParams" (CVE-2008-0726)

Impact
======

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
document, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code
with the privileges of the user running the application. A remote
attacker could also perform cross-site request forgery attacks, or
cause a Denial of Service.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Adobe Acrobat Reader users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/acroread-8.1.2"
