(acroread: UUDecode filename buffer overflow)

    acroread contains two errors in the handling of UUEncoded filenames.
    First, it fails to check the length of a filename before copying it
    into a fixed size buffer and, secondly, it fails to check for the
    backtick shell metacharacter in the filename before executing a command
    with a shell.
  
Impact :

    By enticing a user to open a PDF with a specially crafted filename, an
    attacker could execute arbitrary code or programs with the permissions
    of the user running acroread.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
    upgrade to the latest available version of acroread."
