The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2010:0503 advisory.

    Adobe Reader allows users to view and print documents in Portable Document     Format (PDF).

    This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader. These     vulnerabilities are detailed on the Adobe security pages APSA10-01 and     APSB10-15, listed in the References section. A specially-crafted PDF file     could cause Adobe Reader to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code     as the user running Adobe Reader when opened. (CVE-2010-1240,     CVE-2010-1285, CVE-2010-1295, CVE-2010-1297, CVE-2010-2168, CVE-2010-2201,     CVE-2010-2202, CVE-2010-2203, CVE-2010-2204, CVE-2010-2205, CVE-2010-2206,     CVE-2010-2207, CVE-2010-2208, CVE-2010-2209, CVE-2010-2210, CVE-2010-2211,     CVE-2010-2212)

    All Adobe Reader users should install these updated packages. They contain     Adobe Reader version 9.3.3, which is not vulnerable to these issues. All     running instances of Adobe Reader must be restarted for the update to take     effect.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
