Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 226816
Conflicting Version info In Critical Errata
Last modified: 2009-06-12 09:03:04 EDT
Description of problem: Errata RHSA-2007:0021 calls for release 7.0.9 of Adobe Reader. That RPM is installing successfully on my systems, but the splashscreen is reporting 7.0.8, and so is Help|About. I wouldn't normally be so concerned, but since this is of level Critical, it's pretty darn important that 7.0.9 is what's actually executing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): acroread-7.0.9-1.2.0.EL4 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. install acroread-7.0.9-1.2.0.EL4 2. verify that the executable is in control of that package: "rpm - qf /usr/bin/acroread" 3. "/usr/bin/acroread -version" reports 7.0.9 4. application shows 7.0.8 in splashscreen and in "Help | About Adobe Reader 7.0" Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Advisories that show the criticality of 7.0.9 being right: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-01.html http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/815960
Confirmed that this is an Adobe release problem, and not a packaging error on RH's end. Adobe has been notfied through a generic mail form -- never did find an actual bug DB over there. Package I tested: a8e79a1af58f90640cf9e7e1532a5745 AdobeReader_enu-7.0.9-1.i386.tar.gz
