Adobe InDesign versions 16.3 (and earlier), and 16.3.1 (and earlier) is affected by an Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability due to insecure handling of a malicious TIFF file, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability.

The version of Adobe InDesign installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 16.4.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the APSB21-73 advisory.

  - Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer (CWE-788 (CVE-2021-40727)

  - Adobe InDesign versions 16.3 (and earlier), and 16.3.1 (and earlier) is affected by an Out-of-bounds Write     vulnerability due to insecure handling of a malicious TIFF file, potentially resulting in arbitrary code     execution in the context of the current user. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability.
    (CVE-2021-39820)

  - Adobe InDesign versions 16.3 (and earlier), and 16.3.1 (and earlier) are affected by an out-of-bounds read     vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.
    Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious TIF file.
    (CVE-2021-39821)

  - Adobe InDesign versions 16.3 (and earlier), and 16.3.1 (and earlier) are affected by an out-of-bounds     write vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.
    Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious BMP file.
    (CVE-2021-39822)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Adobe InDesign installed on the remote macOS host is prior or equal to 16.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities, as follows:

  - Accessing a memory location after the end of the buffer allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-39820)

  - Out-of-bounds-reads allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-39821, CVE-2021-39822)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Adobe InDesign installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 16.4.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the APSB21-73 advisory.
