This update addresses several potential vulnerabilities in Adobe® Reader® software versions 6.0-6.0.2. Note that currently there are no known malicious exploits of these vulnerabilities.

Adobe recommends that all users of Adobe Reader 6.0 apply this update as a proactive measure.

This update addresses three issues:

• Preventing playback of malicious content in Macromedia® Flash™ media embedded in a PDF file. For more information, see Support Knowledgebase document #321328.

• Vulnerabilities in the PNG library (libpng version 1.2.5) that could be exploited with malformed PNG images. For more information, see CAN-2004-0597.

• An issue with how the eBook plug-in works with ETD files during digital edition transactions. For more information, see CAN-2004-1153.

System requirements

This update requires Adobe Reader 6.0.2 is installed on your system.

If you have version 6.0 installed, you can download Adobe Reader 6.0.1 and then use the Updates menu entry within Adobe Reader 6.0.1 to update your system to version 6.0.2.

Enterprise/IT administrators may find it more convenient to start with full, uncompressed versions of Adobe Reader 6.0.2 before applying the update to version 6.0.3. These can be found for certain languages on the Adobe Reader text-only download page and require a broadband connection.

Installation Instructions

After downloading the Acro-Reader_603a_Upd_Pkg.dmg file, double-click it to begin the update process.

Note: This update has been re-released for the Mac OS platform as 6.0.3a due to a problem contained in the initial 6.0.3 update. The original 6.0.3 update was posted December 12-13, 2004, and is called Acro-Reader_603_Upd_Pkg.dmg.

If you have already installed the original 6.0.3 update to Adobe Reader 6.0.2:

ユ You do not need to apply the 6.0.3a revised update.
ユ The vulnerabilities listed above have been patched.
ユ No further action is needed. The problem with the 6.0.3 update affected Adobe Acrobat® only, not Adobe Reader.
