All Adobe Reader users should install these updated packages. They contain Adobe Reader version 9.3.3, which is not vulnerable to these issues. All running instances of Adobe Reader must be restarted for the update to take effect.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201009-05 (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 bypass intended     sandbox restrictions, make cross-domain requests, inject arbitrary web     script or HTML, or cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
