I know acroread is not part of CentOS but many people use it. Thought forwarding this post on the SciLinux mailing list might help those who use acroread on CentOS-4. === excerpt === The "latest" version officially compatible with RHEL4 is acroread-7.0.9, but this currently has open security holes (CVE-2007-5663 et al). http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa08-01.html still says (as of today, i.e. 2 weeks after the initial announcement): > Acrobat and Adobe Reader 7.0.9 and earlier versions are also affected > by these vulnerabilities. Adobe will provide further information as > to the nature of the vulnerabilities via the company's Security > Bulletins and Advisories page once updates are available for all > affected versions of Acrobat and Adobe Reader. acoread-8.1.2 (which is patched) requires RHEL5 as per Adobe (libgtk+2.6 ?). It appears that despite this requirement, it happily runs under 4 as well.. at least for the limited use we foresee over here. === end === For the entire post, see: http://listserv.fnal.gov/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0802&L=scientific-linux-users&T=0&P=12526 Akemi
