Integer overflow in CoolType.dll in Adobe Reader 8.2.3 and 9.3.3, and Acrobat 9.3.3, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a TrueType font with a large maxCompositePoints value in a Maximum Profile (maxp) table.

Specially crafted PDF documents could crash acroread or lead to execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2010-1240, CVE-2010-2862).

This update also incorporate the Adobe Flash Player update APSB10-16 for the bundled flash player parts (CVE-2010-0209, CVE-2010-2188, CVE-2010-2213, CVE-2010-2214, CVE-2010-2215, CVE-2010-2216).

Specially crafted PDF documents could crash acroread or lead to execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2010-1240 / CVE-2010-2862). This has been fixed.

This update also incorporates the Adobe Flash Player update APSB10-16 for the bundled flash player parts. (CVE-2010-0209 / CVE-2010-2188 / CVE-2010-2213 / CVE-2010-2214 / CVE-2010-2215 / CVE-2010-2216)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2010:0636 advisory.

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

    This update fixes a vulnerability in Adobe Reader. This vulnerability is     detailed on the Adobe security page APSB10-17, listed in the References     section. 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-2010-2862)

    Multiple security flaws were found in Adobe Flash Player embedded in Adobe     Reader. These vulnerabilities are detailed on the Adobe security page     APSB10-16, listed in the References section. A PDF file with embedded     specially-crafted SWF file could cause Adobe Reader to crash or,     potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Adobe Reader when     opened. (CVE-2010-0209, CVE-2010-2213, CVE-2010-2214, CVE-2010-2215,     CVE-2010-2216)

    All Adobe Reader users should install these updated packages. They contain     Adobe Reader version 9.3.4, which is not vulnerable to these issues. All     running instances of Adobe Reader must be restarted for the update to take     effect.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote host is earlier than 9.3.4 / 8.2.4.  Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
  - Multiple vulnerabilities in the bundled Flash     Player as noted in APSB10-16. (CVE-2010-0209,     CVE-2010-2188, CVE-2010-2213, CVE-2010-2214,     CVE-2010-2215, CVE-2010-2216)

  - A social engineering attack could lead to code     execution. (CVE-2010-1240)

  - An integer overflow vulnerability could lead to     code execution. (CVE-2010-2862)

The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote host is earlier than 9.3.4 / 8.2.4.  Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
