Synopsis
The PDF file viewer on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote host is earlier than 9.3 / 8.2. Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- A use-after-free vulnerability in 'Multimedia.api' can lead to code execution. (CVE-2009-4324)
- An array boundary issue in 'U3D' support can lead to code execution. (CVE-2009-3953)
- A DLL-loading vulnerability in '3D' can allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2009-3954)
- A memory corruption vulnerability can lead to code execution. (CVE-2009-3955)
- A script injection vulnerability. (CVE-2009-3956)
- A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability can lead to a denial of service. (CVE-2009-3957)
- A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Download Manager can lead to code execution. (CVE-2009-3958)
- An integer overflow vulnerability in 'U3D' support can lead to code execution. (CVE-2009-3959)
- A buffer overflow in the 'gp.ocx' ActiveX control can lead to code execution. (CVE-2010-1278)
Solution
Upgrade to Adobe Reader 9.3 / 8.2 or later.
