Adobe FrameMaker 2019 < 15.0.7 (2019.0.7) Arbitrary Code Execution (APSB20-54)

high Nessus Plugin ID 140491

Language:

Synopsis

The remote install of Adobe FrameMaker has multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Adobe FrameMaker installed on the remote Windows host is prior to Adobe FrameMaker 2019 15.0.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the apsb20-54 advisory.

 - Adobe FrameMaker version 2019.0.6 (and earlier versions) lacks proper validation of the length of user- supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. This could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must open a malicious FrameMaker file. (CVE-2020-9725)

 - Adobe FrameMaker version 2019.0.6 (and earlier versions) has an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could be exploited to read past the end of an allocated buffer, possibly resulting in a crash or disclosure of sensitive information from other memory locations. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious FrameMaker file.
 (CVE-2020-9726)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe FrameMaker 2019.0.7 or later.
