Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote host is earlier than 10.1.1 / 9.4.6 / 8.3.1. It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- An unspecified error exists that can allow an attacker to bypass security leading to code execution. (CVE-2011-2431)

- Several errors exist that allow buffer overflows leading to code execution. (CVE-2011-2432, CVE-2011-2435)

- Several errors exist that allow heap overflows leading to code execution. (CVE-2011-2433, CVE-2011-2434, CVE-2011-2436, CVE-2011-2437)

- Several errors exist that allow stack overflows leading to code execution. (CVE-2011-2438)

- An error exists that can allow memory leaks leading to code execution. (CVE-2011-2439)

- A use-after-free error exists that can allow code exection. (CVE-2011-2440)

- Several errors exist in the 'CoolType.dll' library that can allow stack overflows leading to code execution. (CVE-2011-2441)

- A logic error exists that can lead to code execution. (CVE-2011-2442)

- Multiple issues exist as noted in APSB11-21, a security update for Adobe Flash Player. (CVE-2011-2130, CVE-2011-2134, CVE-2011-2135, CVE-2011-2136, CVE-2011-2137, CVE-2011-2138, CVE-2011-2139, CVE-2011-2140, CVE-2011-2414, CVE-2011-2415, CVE-2011-2416, CVE-2011-2417, CVE-2011-2425, CVE-2011-2424)

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Acrobat 8.3.1 / 9.4.6 / 10.1.1 or later.

Public Exploits


Target Network Port(s): N/A
Target Asset(s): N/A
Exploit Available: True (Metasploit Framework, Exploit-DB, GitHub, Core Impact)
Exploit Ease: Exploits are available

Here's the list of publicly known exploits and PoCs for verifying the Adobe Acrobat < 10.1.1 / 9.4.6 / 8.3.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities (APSB11-21, APSB11-24) vulnerability:

  1. Metasploit: exploit/windows/browser/adobe_flash_sps
    [Adobe Flash Player MP4 SequenceParameterSetNALUnit Buffer Overflow]
  2. Exploit-DB: exploits/windows/remote/18437.txt
    [EDB-18437: Adobe Flash Player - MP4 SequenceParameterSetNALUnit Remote Code Execution]
  3. Exploit-DB: exploits/windows/remote/18479.rb
    [EDB-18479: Adobe Flash Player - MP4 SequenceParameterSetNALUnit Buffer Overflow (Metasploit)]
  4. GitHub: https://github.com/offensive-security/exploitdb-bin-sploits/blob/master/bin-sploits/18437.zip
    [EDB-18437]

Before running any exploit against any system, make sure you are authorized by the owner of the target system(s) to perform such activity. In any other case, this would be considered as an illegal activity.

WARNING: Beware of using unverified exploits from sources such as GitHub or Exploit-DB. These exploits and PoCs could contain malware. For more information, see how to use exploits safely.

How to Run


Here is how to run the Adobe Acrobat < 10.1.1 / 9.4.6 / 8.3.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities (APSB11-21, APSB11-24) 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 Windows plugin family.
  6. On the right side table select Adobe Acrobat < 10.1.1 / 9.4.6 / 8.3.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities (APSB11-21, APSB11-24) plugin ID 56197.
  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 adobe_acrobat_apsb11-24.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a adobe_acrobat_apsb11-24.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

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

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - adobe_acrobat_apsb11-24.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 adobe_acrobat_apsb11-24.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
