Synopsis

The Adobe Media Encoder instance installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Adobe Media Encoder installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 14.4.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the APSB20-57 advisory.

- Adobe Media Encoder version 14.3.2 (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 file.
(CVE-2020-9739, CVE-2020-9744, CVE-2020-9745)

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 Media Encoder version 14.4.0 or later.
