Description Tobias Burnus 2010-06-29 10:32:14 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

Note: This is for the openSUSE Factory version, i.e.
  http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/non-oss/suse/i586/
which currently ships 9.3.2 - and for which to my knowledge the normal package maintainer is responsible.
(For the released products, the security team is responsible - and I assume they are already waiting for Adobe to release the update.)


Today, a security update for Adobe Reader 9.3.2 will be released, which fixes several critical security problems, in particular CVE-2010-1297 (crash and potentially allows an attacker to take control of the affected system). This is the Adobe Reader fix for an issue which is already exploited for Flash Player (fixed for Factory & released products). Security advisory:

Thanks for the timely security update!

Reproducible: Always

The update is (now) available at
  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Unix

As the openSUSE 11.3 release is happening soon, I would really like to see this update be included also on the DVDs.
Comment 2 Tobias Burnus 2010-06-29 20:10:58 UTC
Or from the FTP server: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.3.3/

  - Enhancements for security (including a zero-day fix)
  - performance enhancements
  - bug fixes
  - improved browser support,
  - and Updater improvements.

Hi,
 Download it now, thanks! It's a little slow to download it, I'll finish
it tomorrow.
Comment 4 Bin Li 2010-06-30 09:22:15 UTC
Assign to me first.
Comment 5 Ludwig Nussel 2010-07-01 07:47:26 UTC
redhat has released updates
Comment 7 Bin Li 2010-07-02 07:19:10 UTC
Done.
And already accepted by factory.
Comment 8 Tobias Burnus 2010-07-13 14:18:58 UTC
REOPEN  (reminder: 9.3.3 = new, 9.3.2 = old)

The files are still not on the FTP server:
  http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/non-oss/suse/i586/
has only  acroread-9.3.2-1.5.i586.rpm

The files are available for  11.3
  http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3/repo/non-oss/suse/i586/
has  
acroread-9.3.3-2.1.i586.rpm  

If one looks at the build server, one finds the 9.3.3 package - thus, this is not a package building but a package distribution problem.

Comment 9 Tobias Burnus 2010-07-21 06:53:13 UTC
Now the package is finally available on Factory. Thus, close as fixed.
