Description Tomas Hoger 2010-10-04 10:23:20 UTC 
It was discovered that certain libraries shipped with Adobe Reader for Linux used insecure RPATH setting.  A local attacker able to convince the victim to run Adobe Reader in an attacker-controlled directory could possibly run arbitrary code with the victim's privileges.
