Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2008:0974 - Security Advisory
Issued:
2008-11-12
Updated:
2008-11-12

RHSA-2008:0974 - Security Advisory

  • Overview
  • Updated Packages

Synopsis

Critical: acroread security update

Type/Severity

Security Advisory: Critical

Topic

Updated acroread packages that fix various security issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Extras, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
Extras, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Supplementary.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

Description

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

Several input validation flaws were discovered in Adobe Reader. A malicious
PDF file could cause Adobe Reader to crash or, potentially, execute
arbitrary code as the user running Adobe Reader. (CVE-2008-2549,
CVE-2008-2992, CVE-2008-4812, CVE-2008-4813, CVE-2008-4814, CVE-2008-4817)

The Adobe Reader binary had an insecure relative RPATH (runtime library
search path) set in the ELF (Executable and Linking Format) header. A local
attacker able to convince another user to run Adobe Reader in an
attacker-controlled directory could run arbitrary code with the privileges
of the victim. (CVE-2008-4815)

All acroread users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, that
contain Adobe Reader version 8.1.3, and are not vulnerable to these issues.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
