(RHSA-2010:0060) Critical: acroread security update

Adobe Reader allows users to view and print documents in Portable Document
Format (PDF).

Adobe Reader 8.1.7 is vulnerable to critical security flaws and should no
longer be used. A specially-crafted PDF file could cause Adobe Reader to
crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Adobe
Reader when opened. (CVE-2009-4324, CVE-2009-3953, CVE-2009-3954,
CVE-2009-3955, CVE-2009-3959, CVE-2009-3956)

Adobe have discontinued support for Adobe Reader 8 for Linux. Adobe Reader
9 for Linux is not compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. An
alternative PDF file viewer available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 is
xpdf.

This update removes the acroread packages due to their known security
vulnerabilities.
