Synopsis

The remote Windows host has a version of Adobe AIR installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its version, the installation of Adobe AIR on the remote Windows host is equal or prior to 18.0.0.144. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists that allows an attacker to guess the address for the Flash heap. (CVE-2015-3097)

- Multiple heap-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist that allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-3135, CVE-2015-4432, CVE-2015-5118)

- Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities exist that allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-3117, CVE-2015-3123, CVE-2015-3130, CVE-2015-3133, CVE-2015-3134, CVE-2015-4431)

- Multiple NULL pointer dereference flaws exist. (CVE-2015-3126, CVE-2015-4429)

- A security bypass vulnerability exists that results in an information disclosure. (CVE-2015-3114)

- Multiple type confusion vulnerabilities exist that allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-3119, CVE-2015-3120, CVE-2015-3121, CVE-2015-3122, CVE-2015-4433)

- Multiple use-after-free errors exist that allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-3118, CVE-2015-3124, CVE-2015-5117, CVE-2015-3127, CVE-2015-3128, CVE-2015-3129, CVE-2015-3131, CVE-2015-3132, CVE-2015-3136, CVE-2015-3137, CVE-2015-4428, CVE-2015-4430, CVE-2015-5119)

- Multiple same-origin policy bypass vulnerabilities exist that allow information disclosure. (CVE-2014-0578, CVE-2015-3115, CVE-2015-3116, CVE-2015-3125, CVE-2015-5116)

- A memory corruption issue exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-5124)

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe AIR 18.0.0.180 or later.

How to Run

Here is how to run the Adobe AIR <= 18.0.0.144 Multiple Vulnerabilities (APSB15-16) 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 AIR <= 18.0.0.144 Multiple Vulnerabilities (APSB15-16) plugin ID 84641.
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_air_apsb15-16.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a adobe_air_apsb15-16.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

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

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - adobe_air_apsb15-16.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_air_apsb15-16.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
