Synopsis

The Adobe Premiere Pro instance installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Adobe Premiere Pro installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 15.4.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the APSB21-100 advisory.

- Adobe Premiere Pro version 15.4.1 (and earlier) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability due to insecure handling of a malicious file, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-40792, CVE-2021-40793, CVE-2021-40794)

- Adobe Premiere Pro 15.4.1 (and earlier) is affected by a Null pointer dereference vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve an application denial-of-service in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-40796, CVE-2021-42263, CVE-2021-42264)

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 Premiere Pro version 15.4.2 or later.
