medium Nessus Plugin ID 209426

Synopsis

Adobe Animate installed on remote macOS or Mac OS X host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The version of Adobe Animate installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 20.5.2 or 21.0.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the apsb21-35 advisory.

 - Adobe Animate version 21.0.5 (and earlier) is affected by an Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to disclose sensitive information in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-28573, CVE-2021-28574, CVE-2021-28575, CVE-2021-28576)

 - Out-of-bounds read potentially leading to Information Disclosure (CVE-2021-28572)

 - Use After Free potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2021-28578)

 - Out-of-bounds write potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2021-28577)

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 Animate version 20.5.2 or 21.0.6 or later.
