Synopsis
========
Adobe Acrobat Reader is vulnerable to remote code execution, Denial of
Service, and cross-site request forgery attacks.
Background
==========
Adobe Acrobat Reader is a PDF reader released by Adobe.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
