Description
Adobe Reader allows users to view and print documents in Portable Document
Format (PDF). Adobe Reader 9 reached the end of its support cycle on June
26, 2013, and will not receive any more security updates. Future versions
of Adobe Acrobat Reader will not be available with Red Hat Enterprise
Linux.
The Adobe Reader packages in the Red Hat Network (RHN) channels will
continue to be available. Red Hat will continue to provide these packages
only as a courtesy to customers. Red Hat will not provide updates to the
Adobe Reader packages.
This update disables the Adobe Reader web browser plug-in, which is
available via the acroread-plugin package, to prevent the exploitation of
security issues without user interaction when a user visits a malicious web
page.
