Synopsis

The remote Windows host has a browser plugin that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing KB3049508. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Multiple double-free errors exist that allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0346, CVE-2015-0359)

- Multiple memory corruption flaws exist due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit these flaws, via specially crafted flash content, to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0347, CVE-2015-0350, CVE-2015-0352, CVE-2015-0353, CVE-2015-0354, CVE-2015-0355, CVE-2015-0360, CVE-2015-3038, CVE-2015-3041, CVE-2015-3042, CVE-2015-3043)

- A unspecified buffer overflow condition exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0348)

- Multiple unspecified use-after-free errors exist that allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0349, CVE-2015-0351, CVE-2015-0358, CVE-2015-3039)

- An unspecified type confusion flaw exists that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0356)

- Multiple unspecified memory leaks exist that allows an attacker to bypass the Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) feature. (CVE-2015-0357, CVE-2015-3040)

- An unspecified security bypass flaw exists that allows an attacker to disclose information. (CVE-2015-3044)

Solution

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 MS KB3049508: Update for Vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer plugin ID 82823.
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 smb_kb3049508.nasl -t <IP/HOST>
