Title:
  Add Acrobat reader and flash restrictions

Status in “apparmor” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apparmor

  Add a rule file for Acrobat Reader and Flash

  - Acrobat reader is used by about 20 % of Ubuntu users, Flash by 50 %
  - Most targeted attacks use PDF
  - Many web attacks (drive-by-infection) use PDF and Flash
  - The PDF Reader and Flash have lots of security vulnerabilities
  - Acrobat is very slow in fixing them at the moment
  - The exploits made public also work for Linux

  Adding rules for the reader and flash would give some bang for the
  buck
