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 11.0.3 / 10.1.7 / 9.5.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- Unspecified memory corruption vulnerabilities exist that could lead to code execution. (CVE-2013-2718, CVE-2013-2719, CVE-2013-2720, CVE-2013-2721, CVE-2013-2722, CVE-2013-2723, CVE-2013-2725, CVE-2013-2726, CVE-2013-2731, CVE-2013-2732, CVE-2013-2734, CVE-2013-2735, CVE-2013-2736, CVE-2013-3337, CVE-2013-3338, CVE-2013-3339, CVE-2013-3340, CVE-2013-3341, CVE-2013-3346)

- An integer underflow error exists that could lead to code execution. (CVE-2013-2549)

- A use-after-free error exists that could lead to a bypass of Adobe Reader's sandbox protection. (CVE-2013-2550)

- An unspecified information leakage issue involving a JavaScript API exists. (CVE-2013-2737)

- An unspecified stack overflow issue exists that could lead to code execution. (CVE-2013-2724)

- An unspecified buffer overflow error exists that could lead to code execution. (CVE-2013-2730, CVE-2013-2733)

- An unspecified integer overflow error exists that could lead to code execution. (CVE-2013-2727, CVE-2013-2729)

- A flaw exists in the way Reader handles domains that have been blacklisted in the operating system. (CVE-2013-3342)

Solution

How to Run

Here is how to run the Adobe Reader < 11.0.3 / 10.1.7 / 9.5.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities (APSB13-15) as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

Click to start a New Scan.
Select Advanced Scan.
Navigate to the Plugins tab.
On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
On the left side table select Windows plugin family.
On the right side table select Adobe Reader < 11.0.3 / 10.1.7 / 9.5.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities (APSB13-15) plugin ID 66410.
Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
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_reader_apsb13-15.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a adobe_reader_apsb13-15.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

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

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - adobe_reader_apsb13-15.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_reader_apsb13-15.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
