A vulnerability was identified in Adobe Acrobat Reader, which could be exploited by local attackers to gain knowledge of sensitive information. The problem is caused due to temporary files being created with permissions based on a user's umask in the "/tmp" folder under certain circumstances when documents are opened, which could be exploited by local users to view other users' PDF documents.
