Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.61812
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2008:0974
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2008:0974.

Adobe Reader allows users to view and print documents in Portable Document
Format (PDF).

Several input validation flaws were discovered in Adobe Reader. A malicious
PDF file could cause Adobe Reader to crash or, potentially, execute
arbitrary code as the user running Adobe Reader. (CVE-2008-2549,
CVE-2008-2992, CVE-2008-4812, CVE-2008-4813, CVE-2008-4814, CVE-2008-4817)

The Adobe Reader binary had an insecure relative RPATH (runtime library
search path) set in the ELF (Executable and Linking Format) header. A local
attacker able to convince another user to run Adobe Reader in an
attacker-controlled directory could run arbitrary code with the privileges
of the victim. (CVE-2008-4815)

All acroread users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, that
contain Adobe Reader version 8.1.3, and are not vulnerable to these issues.

Solution:
Please note that this update is available via
Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red
Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date
