Adobe InDesign 16.0 < 17.0.0 Multiple Vulnerabilities (APSB21-107) (macOS)

high Nessus Plugin ID 209405

Language:

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 17.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the APSB21-107 advisory.

 - Adobe InDesign versions 16.4 (and earlier) are affected by a Buffer Overflow vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve 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-2021-42731)

 - Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer (CWE-788) (CVE-2021-42732)

 - NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476) potentially leading to Application denial-of-service (CVE-2021-40743)

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 InDesign version 17.0.0 or later.
