This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader. These vulnerabilities are detailed on the Adobe security page APSB10-21, listed in the References section.

(CVE-2010-2883, CVE-2010-2884, CVE-2010-2889, CVE-2010-2890, CVE-2010-3619, CVE-2010-3620, CVE-2010-3621, CVE-2010-3622, CVE-2010-3625, CVE-2010-3626, CVE-2010-3627, CVE-2010-3628, CVE-2010-3629, CVE-2010-3630, CVE-2010-3632, CVE-2010-3658)
An insecure relative RPATH (runtime library search path) set in some Adobe Reader libraries could allow a local attacker, who is able to convince another user to run Adobe Reader in an attacker-controlled directory, to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the victim. (CVE-2010-2887)
A specially-crafted PDF file could cause Adobe Reader to crash when opened. (CVE-2010-3656, CVE-2010-3657)
All Adobe Reader users should install these updated packages. They contain Adobe Reader version 9.4, which is not vulnerable to these issues. All running instances of Adobe Reader must be restarted for the update to take effect.
