Date:  Jun 30 2010
Impact:   Denial of service via network, Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
Fix Available:  Yes  Vendor Confirmed:  Yes  
Version(s): 8.2.2, and prior 8.x versions; 9.3.2 and prior 9.x versions
Description:   A vulnerability was reported in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system. A remote user can cause denial of service conditions.

A remote user can create specially crafted content that, when loaded by the target user, will execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.

A social engineering attack can lead to code execution [CVE-2010-1240].

Several invalid pointer flaws can cause code execution [CVE-2010-1285, CVE-2010-2168, CVE-2010-2201].

Several memory corruption flaws can cause code execution [CVE-2010-1295, CVE-2010-2202, CVE-2010-2207, CVE-2010-2209, CVE-2010-2210, CVE-2010-2211, CVE-2010-2212].

A memory corruption flaw affecting only UNIX-based systems can cause code execution [CVE-2010-2203].

A remote user can cause denial of service conditions [CVE-2010-2204].

An uninitialized memory flaw can cause code execution [CVE-2010-2205].

An array-indexing error can cause [CVE-2010-2206].

A deleted heap object deference flaw can cause code execution [CVE-2010-2208].

Microsoft Vulnerability Research (MSVR), Nicolas Joly of VUPEN Vulnerability Research Team, Didier Stevens, Philippe Lagadec of NATO C3 Agency, an anonymous researcher via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative, James Quirk of Los Alamos, New Mexico, Gjoko Krstic of Zero Science Lab, Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research, Carsten Eiram of Secunia Research, and Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team reported these vulnerabilities.
Impact:   A remote user can create a file that, when loaded by the target user, will execute arbitrary code on the target user's system.

A remote user can cause denial of service conditions.
Solution:   Red Hat has issued a fix.

3. Description:

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

This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader. These
vulnerabilities are detailed on the Adobe security pages APSA10-01 and
APSB10-15, listed in the References section. A specially-crafted PDF file
could cause Adobe Reader to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code
as the user running Adobe Reader when opened. (CVE-2010-1240,
CVE-2010-1285, CVE-2010-1295, CVE-2010-1297, CVE-2010-2168, CVE-2010-2201,

CVE-2010-2212)

All Adobe Reader users should install these updated packages. They contain
Adobe Reader version 9.3.3, which is not vulnerable to these issues. All
running instances of Adobe Reader must be restarted for the update to take
effect.
