The version of Adobe Photoshop installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 22.5.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the apsb21-109 advisory.- Adobe Photoshop version 22.5.1 (and earlier versions ) is affected by an Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer vulnerability, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-42735)
- Adobe Photoshop version 22.5.1 and earlier versions are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass mitigations such as ASLR. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-42734)
- Buffer Overflow (CWE-120) potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2021-42736)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
