Adobe Reader Font Parsing Integer Overflow Vulnerability (Linux). Successful exploitation leads to memory corruption via a PDF file with a specially crafted TrueType font. Adobe Reader versions 8.2.3 and 9.3.3 are affected. It's caused by an integer overflow error in 'CoolType.dll' when parsing the 'maxCompositePoints' field value in the 'maxp' table of a TrueType font. Upgrade to version 8.2.4 or 9.3.4 or later
