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,

running instances of Adobe Reader must be restarted for the update to take

effect.
