Adobe does not list the Linux version as affected, but the original
reporter of the problem does list the Linux version as affected, at
http://shh.thathost.com/secadv/adobexxe/ . In these cases we prefer
err on the side of caution and will rather list a package as affected,
even if it's not, rather than not listing a package that turn out to
be affected.
I have just written a mail to the original reporter of the problem to
try to clarify the issue.
