  This update resolves an input validation issue that could lead to a Denial
  of Service (DoS) issue (CVE-2009-2988).

  of Service (DoS) (CVE-2009-2995).

  This update resolves a stack overflow issue that could potentially lead
  to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack (CVE-2009-3431).

Comment 4 Vincent Danen 2009-10-14 00:33:06 UTC
According to the bulletin:

This update resolves an integer overflow in that leads to a Denial of Service (DoS). This issue is specific to Acrobat and does not affect Adobe Reader. (CVE-2009-2995).

So CVE-2009-2995 is not applicable here.
