Adobe Systems on Tuesday issued a patch for vulnerabilities found in Unix and Linux versions of its Adobe Reader. The flaws, found in Adobe Reader 5.0.9 and 5.0.10, affects computers running on Linux, Solaris, IBM-AIX or HP-UX.
The vulnerabilities could allow remote exploitation of a buffer overflow to take control of a user's computer, if a malicious PDF document is opened or an e-mail attachment is opened. The flaws do not affect the Microsoft Windows version of these Adobe Readers. The software vendor has released Adobe Reader 7.0, which patches the flaw.
"The vulnerabilities could allow remote exploitation of a buffer overflow to take control of a user's computer, if a malicious PDF document is opened or an e-mail attachment is opened."
