DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Adobe Reader and Adobe
Acrobat, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks, bypass certain security restrictions,
gain knowledge of potentially sensitive information, and compromise a
user's system.

1) An integer overflow error when handling True Type Font (TTF) can
be exploited to corrupt memory.

2) An unspecified error when handling JavaScript can be exploited to
corrupt memory.

3) The application loads executables (e.g. msiexec.exe) in an
insecure manner. This can be exploited to run an arbitrary program by
tricking a user into e.g. opening a file located on a remote WebDAV or
SMB share and repairing the installation.

4) An unspecified error within the JavaScript API can be exploited to
corrupt memory.

NOTE: This vulnerability affects the Macintosh and Linux versions
only.

5) The application bundles a vulnerable version of Adobe Flash
Player.

For more information:
SA48033
SA48281
SA48623

NOTE: This vulnerability affects Adobe Reader X and Adobe Acrobat X
only.

Successful exploitation of vulnerabilities #1 - #4 may allow
execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in the following products:
* Adobe Reader X versions 10.1.2 and prior for Windows and
Macintosh.
* Adobe Reader versions 9.5 and prior for Windows and Macintosh.
* Adobe Reader versions 9.4.6 and prior for Linux.
* Adobe Acrobat X versions 10.1.2 and prior for Windows and
Macintosh.
* Adobe Acrobat versions 9.5 and prior for Windows and Macintosh.
