critical Nessus Plugin ID 209373

Synopsis

The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote macOS host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote macOS host is a version prior to 11.0.15, 15.006.30121, or 15.010.20060. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

 - Adobe Reader and Acrobat before 11.0.15, Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Classic before 15.006.30121, and Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Continuous before 15.010.20060 on Windows and OS X allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-1009. (CVE-2016-1007)

 - Adobe Reader and Acrobat before 11.0.15, Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Classic before 15.006.30121, and Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Continuous before 15.010.20060 on Windows and OS X allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-1007. (CVE-2016-1009)

 - Untrusted search path vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Acrobat before 11.0.15, Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Classic before 15.006.30121, and Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Continuous before 15.010.20060 on Windows and OS X allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.
 (CVE-2016-1008)

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 Acrobat version 11.0.15 / 15.006.30121 / 15.010.20060 or later.
