Adobe Illustrator < 28.7.3 / 29.0.0 < 29.1.0 Multiple Arbitrary code execution (APSB24-94) (macOS)

high Nessus Plugin ID 212251

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Adobe Illustrator installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 28.7.3, 29.1.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the APSB24-94 advisory.

 - Illustrator versions 29.0.0, 28.7.2 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds write 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-2024-49538)

 - Illustrator versions 29.0.0, 28.7.2 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-2024-49541)

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 Illustrator version 28.7.3, 29.1.0 or later.
