Synopsis

The version of Adobe Reader on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote host is earlier than 9.3.3 / 8.2.3. Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A social engineering attack could lead to code execution. (CVE-2010-1240)

- Handling of an invalid pointer could lead to code execution. (CVE-2010-1285)

- A memory corruption vulnerability could lead to code execution. (CVE-2010-1295)

- A memory corruption vulnerability could lead to code execution. This issue is reportedly being exploited in the wild. (CVE-2010-1297)

- Handling of an invalid pointer could lead to code execution. (CVE-2010-2168)

- Handling of an invalid pointer could lead to code execution. (CVE-2010-2201)

- A memory corruption vulnerability could lead to code execution. (CVE-2010-2202)

- A denial of service vulnerability could potentially lead to code execution. (CVE-2010-2204)

- It may be possible to execute arbitrary code via uninitialized memory locations. (CVE-2010-2205)

- An error in array-indexing could lead to code execution. (CVE-2010-2206)

- A memory corruption vulnerability could lead to code execution. (CVE-2010-2207) - Dereferencing a deleted heap object could lead to code execution. (CVE-2010-2208)

- A memory corruption vulnerability could lead to code execution. (CVE-2010-2209)

- A memory corruption vulnerability could lead to code execution. (CVE-2010-2210)

- A memory corruption vulnerability could lead to code execution. (CVE-2010-2211)

- A memory corruption vulnerability could lead to code execution. (CVE-2010-2212)

Solution
