Message-ID: <20050711132343.GA12097@kosh.atw.wh.local> Date: Sun Jul 17 13:49:41 2005 From: vorlon at gentoo.org (Matthias Geerdsen) Subject: [gentoo-announce] [ GLSA 200507-09 ] Adobe Acrobat Reader: Buffer overflow vulnerability - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200507-09 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: Adobe Acrobat Reader: Buffer overflow vulnerability Date: July 11, 2005 Bugs: #98101 ID: 200507-09 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======== Adobe Acrobat Reader is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that could lead to remote execution of arbitrary code. Background ========== Adobe Acrobat Reader is a utility used to view PDF files. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-text/acroread <= 5.10 >= 7.0 Description =========== A buffer overflow has been discovered in the UnixAppOpenFilePerform() function, which is called when Adobe Acrobat Reader tries to open a file with the "\Filespec" tag. Impact ====== By enticing a user to open a specially crafted PDF document, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== Since Adobe will most likely not update the 5.0 series of Adobe Acrobat Reader for Linux, all users should upgrade to the latest available version of the 7.0 series: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/acroread-7.0" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-1625 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-1625 [ 2 ] iDEFENSE Security Advisory http://www.idefense.com/application/poi/display?id=279&type=vulnerabilities&flashstatus=true [ 3 ] Adobe Security Advisory http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/329083.html Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200507-09.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
