Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Adobe InDesign installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 18.5.1, 19.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the APSB23-55 advisory.

 - Adobe InDesign versions ID18.5 (and earlier) and ID17.4.2 (and earlier) 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-2023-44342, CVE-2023-44343, CVE-2023-44344, CVE-2023-44346)

 - Adobe InDesign versions ID18.5 (and earlier) and ID17.4.2 (and earlier) are affected by a NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability. 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-2023-44341, CVE-2023-44347)

 - Adobe InDesign versions ID18.5 (and earlier) and ID17.4.2 (and earlier) are affected by a Improper Input Validation vulnerability. 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-2023-44345)

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