Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Updated acroread packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extras and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Supplementary.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

Adobe Reader allows users to view and print documents in Portable Document Format (PDF).

This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader. These vulnerabilities are detailed on the Adobe security page APSB10-21, listed in the References section.

A specially crafted PDF file could cause Adobe Reader to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Adobe Reader when opened. (CVE-2010-2883, CVE-2010-2884, CVE-2010-2889, CVE-2010-2890, CVE-2010-3619, CVE-2010-3620, CVE-2010-3621, CVE-2010-3622, CVE-2010-3625, CVE-2010-3626, CVE-2010-3627, CVE-2010-3628, CVE-2010-3629, CVE-2010-3630, CVE-2010-3632, CVE-2010-3658)

An insecure relative RPATH (runtime library search path) set in some Adobe Reader libraries could allow a local attacker, who is able to convince another user to run Adobe Reader in an attacker-controlled directory, to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the victim. (CVE-2010-2887)

A specially crafted PDF file could cause Adobe Reader to crash when opened. (CVE-2010-3656, CVE-2010-3657)

All Adobe Reader users should install these updated packages. They contain Adobe Reader version 9.4, which is not vulnerable to these issues. All running instances of Adobe Reader must be restarted for the update to take effect.

Solution

Update the affected acroread and / or acroread-plugin packages.

How to Run

Here is how to run the RHEL 4 / 5 : acroread (RHSA-2010:0743) as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

  1. Click to start a New Scan.
  2. Select Advanced Scan.
  3. Navigate to the Plugins tab.
  4. On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
  5. On the left side table select Red Hat Local Security Checks plugin family.
  6. On the right side table select RHEL 4 / 5 : acroread (RHSA-2010:0743) plugin ID 49786.
  7. Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
  8. Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl redhat-RHSA-2010-0743.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a redhat-RHSA-2010-0743.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - redhat-RHSA-2010-0743.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state redhat-RHSA-2010-0743.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
