Multiple security vulnerabilities in the Adobe Reader may allow remote

cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that may allow a remote
unprivileged user to inject arbitrary JavaScript into a browser
session.
Note: Adobe Reader is the free viewing companion to Adobe Acrobat.
Adobe Reader allows you to view, navigate, and print Portable Document
Format (PDF) files.
