Synopsis
========
Adobe Reader is vulnerable to remote code execution via crafted PDF
files.
Background
==========
Adobe Reader is a PDF reader released by Adobe.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-text/acroread < 8.1.6 >= 8.1.6
Description
===========
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's FortiGuard Global Security Research Team
reported a memory corruption vulnerability related to TrueType fonts
(CVE-2009-1857).
* The Apple Product Security Team reported a memory corruption
vulnerability in the JBIG2 filter (CVE-2009-1858).
* Matthew Watchinski of Sourcefire VRT reported an unspecified memory
corruption (CVE-2009-1859).
* Will Dormann of CERT reported multiple heap-based buffer overflows
when processing JPX (aka JPEG2000) stream that trigger heap memory
corruption (CVE-2009-1861).
* Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities have been discovered
(CVE-2009-2028).
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
document, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running the application.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Adobe Reader users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/acroread-8.1.6"
