high Nessus Plugin ID 155585

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Adobe Media Encoder installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 14.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as follows:

- Adobe Media Encoder versions 14.2 and earlier have an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2020-9646, CVE-2020-9650)

- Adobe Media Encoder versions 14.2 and earlier have an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to information disclosure. (CVE-2020-9649)

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

Solution

Upgrace Adobe Media Encoder to version 14.3 or later.
