Adobe Reader (formerly Adobe Acrobat Reader) is a closed-source PDF reader.
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.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All Adobe Reader users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/acroread-8.1.3"
OS | Version | Architecture | Package | Version | Filename |
