Title:
Add Acrobat reader and flash restrictions
Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu:
Expired
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
