Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2010:0743 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Critical: acroread security update 2010-10-06 10:28:46 UTC

Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-09-09 14:44:03 UTC 
A stack-buffer overflow was found in the way Acrobat Reader
processed certain fonts. A remote attacker could use this flaw
to cause acroread executable to crash or, potentially, execute
arbitrary code by tricking local victim into opening a 
specially-crafted Portable Document Format (PDF) file.
