Synopsis

Adobe Animate installed on remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The version of Adobe Animate installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 20.5.2 or 21.0.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the apsb21-35 advisory.

- Adobe Animate version 21.0.5 (and earlier) is affected by an Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to disclose sensitive information in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-28573, CVE-2021-28574, CVE-2021-28575, CVE-2021-28576)

- Out-of-bounds read potentially leading to Information Disclosure (CVE-2021-28572)

- Use After Free potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2021-28578)

- Out-of-bounds write potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2021-28577)

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 Animate version 20.5.2 or 21.0.6 or later.
