Synopsis

The remote install of Adobe FrameMaker has multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Adobe FrameMaker installed on the remote Windows host is prior to Adobe FrameMaker 2020 16.0.7 / Adobe FrameMaker 2022 17.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the apsb24-82 advisory.

- Adobe Framemaker versions 2020.6, 2022.4 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when parsing a crafted file, which could result in a read past the end of an allocated memory structure.
An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user.
Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
(CVE-2024-47421)

- Adobe Framemaker versions 2020.6, 2022.4 and earlier are affected by an Untrusted Search Path vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by inserting a malicious path into the search directories, which the application could unknowingly execute.
This could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction. (CVE-2024-47422)

- Adobe Framemaker versions 2020.6, 2022.4 and earlier are affected by an Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by uploading a malicious file which can be automatically processed or executed by the system. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction. (CVE-2024-47423)

- Adobe Framemaker versions 2020.6, 2022.4 and earlier are affected by an Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.
Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
(CVE-2024-47424)

- Adobe Framemaker versions 2020.6, 2022.4 and earlier are affected by an Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound) vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
(CVE-2024-47425)

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 FrameMaker FrameMaker 2020 Update 7, FrameMaker 2022 Update 5 or later.
