SecurityTracker Alert ID:  1022416
SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id/1022416
CVE Reference:   CVE-2009-0198, CVE-2009-0509, CVE-2009-0510, CVE-2009-0511, CVE-2009-0512, CVE-2009-0888, CVE-2009-0889, CVE-2009-1855, CVE-2009-1856, CVE-2009-1857, CVE-2009-1858, CVE-2009-1859, CVE-2009-1861, CVE-2009-2028   (Links to External Site)
Date:  Jun 17 2009
Impact:   Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
Fix Available:  Yes  Vendor Confirmed:  Yes  
Version(s): 9.1.1 and prior version
Description:   Several vulnerabilities were reported in Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.

A remote user can create a specially crafted file that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.

An anonymous researcher (via TippingPoint), Jun Mao and Ryan Smith of iDefense Labs, Haifei Li of Fortinet's FortiGuard Global Security Research Team, the Apple Product Security Team, Matthew Watchinski of Sourcefire VRT, Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research, Mark Dowd of the IBM Internet Security Systems X-Force, Will Dormann of CERT, and Nicolas Joly of VUPEN Security 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.
Solution:   Red Hat has released a fix.

The Red Hat advisory is available at:

arbitrary code as the user running Adobe Reader when opened.
(CVE-2009-0198, CVE-2009-0509, CVE-2009-0510, CVE-2009-0511, CVE-2009-0512,
CVE-2009-0888, CVE-2009-0889, CVE-2009-1855, CVE-2009-1856, CVE-2009-1857,
CVE-2009-1858, CVE-2009-1859, CVE-2009-1861, CVE-2009-2028)

All Adobe Reader users should install these updated packages. They contain
Adobe Reader version 8.1.6, which is not vulnerable to these issues. All
running instances of Adobe Reader must be restarted for the update to take
effect.
