Adobe Security Bulletin APSB09-15
_________________________________________________________________
Category : Security
Release Phase : Workaround
Bug Id : 6891381
Product : Solaris 10 Operating System
Date of Workaround Release : 22-Oct-2009
Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader for Solaris 10 May Allow
Execution of Arbitrary Code or Cause Denial of Service (DoS) -
Adobe Security Bulletin APSB09-15
1. Impact
Multiple security vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader versions 9.x before
9.1.4, 8.x before 8.1.7 and 7.x before 7.1.4 may allow remote
unprivileged users to execute arbitrary code or crash the Adobe Reader
application, thereby causing a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
These vulnerabilities may be exploited via specially crafted PDF
files.
The following resources document these issues in more detail:

2. Contributing Factors
These issues can occur in the following release:
SPARC Platform
* Solaris 10
Notes:
1. Solaris 8, Solaris 9, Solaris 10 on the x86 platform and OpenSolaris do not
ship Adobe Reader and therefore are not affected by these issues.
2. All versions of Adobe Reader 9 prior to 9.2, Adobe Reader 8 prior
to 8.1.7 and Adobe Reader 7 prior to 7.1.4 are affected by these
issues.
To determine the version of Adobe Reader installed on the system, the
following command can be run:
$ /usr/bin/acroread -version
7.0.1
Earlier versions of Adobe Reader on Solaris 10 only shipped acroread
in /usr/sfw/bin which do not support the '-version' option, so for
such instances, the following command can be used instead:
$ cat `pkgchk -l -P AcroVersion | awk '/Pathname/ { print $2 }'`
5.0.10
3. Symptoms
There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate these issues
have been exploited to execute arbitrary code.
If the described issues have been exploited to cause a Denial of
Service (DoS), the Adobe Reader application will crash, potentially
leaving a core(4) file depending on the system configuration.
4. Workaround
To avoid the described issues, do not load PDF files from untrusted
sources.
Until patches can be applied, the risk of some of these
vulnerabilities can be mitigated by preventing PDF documents from
being opened automatically by the Web browser. In Firefox 2.0, this can
be set by changing the default action for PDF documents with the following:
1. Open the Preferences dialog from the Edit menu
2. Select Contents tab.
3. Click on Manage button in File Types block.
4. Select PDF in the list and click Change Action.
5. Select 'Save them on my computer' option and click OK.
Note that this workaround will reduce the risk of exploitation but
will not prevent the issues from being exploited.
5. Resolution
A final resolution is pending completion.
