Stack-based buffer overflow in CoolType.dll in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.4, and 8.x before 8.2.5 on Windows and Mac OS X, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a PDF document with a long field in a Smart INdependent Glyphlets (SING) table in a TTF font, as exploited in the wild in September 2010. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Specially crafted PDF documents could crash acroread or lead to execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2010-2883, CVE-2010-2884, CVE-2010-2887, CVE-2010-2889, CVE-2010-2890, CVE-2010-3619, CVE-2010-3620, CVE-2010-3621, CVE-2010-3622, CVE-2010-3623, CVE-2010-3624, CVE-2010-3625, CVE-2010-3626, CVE-2010-3627, CVE-2010-3628, CVE-2010-3629, CVE-2010-3630, CVE-2010-3631, CVE-2010-3632, CVE-2010-3656, CVE-2010-3657, CVE-2010-3658).

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201101-08 (Adobe Reader: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Adobe Reader. For further     information please consult the CVE entries and the Adobe Security     Bulletins referenced below.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker might entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF     file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the     privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

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

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

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

This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader. These vulnerabilities are detailed on the Adobe security page APSB10-21, 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-2010-2883, CVE-2010-2884, CVE-2010-2889, CVE-2010-2890, CVE-2010-3619, CVE-2010-3620, CVE-2010-3621, CVE-2010-3622, CVE-2010-3625, CVE-2010-3626, CVE-2010-3627, CVE-2010-3628, CVE-2010-3629, CVE-2010-3630, CVE-2010-3632, CVE-2010-3658)

An insecure relative RPATH (runtime library search path) set in some Adobe Reader libraries could allow a local attacker, who is able to convince another user to run Adobe Reader in an attacker-controlled directory, to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the victim. (CVE-2010-2887)

A specially crafted PDF file could cause Adobe Reader to crash when opened. (CVE-2010-3656, CVE-2010-3657)

All Adobe Reader users should install these updated packages. They contain Adobe Reader version 9.4, which is not vulnerable to these issues. All running instances of Adobe Reader must be restarted for the update to take effect.

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote host is earlier than 9.4 / 8.2.5.  Such versions are affected by multiple code execution vulnerabilities.

Note that there have been reports that one or more of these issues are being actively exploited in the wild.

The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote host is earlier than 9.4 / 8.2.5.  Such versions are affected by multiple code execution vulnerabilities.

Note that there have been reports that one or more of these issues are being actively exploited in the wild.
