Adobe Reader < 9.1 / 8.1.4 / 7.1.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 35821

Synopsis

The PDF file viewer on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote host is earlier than 9.1 / 8.1.4 / 7.1.1. Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- An integer buffer overflow can be triggered when processing a malformed JBIG2 image stream with the '/JBIG2Decode' filter. (CVE-2009-0658)

- A vulnerability in the 'getIcon()' JavaScript method of a Collab object could allow for remote code execution. (CVE-2009-0927)

- Additional vulnerabilities involving handling of JBIG2 image streams could lead to remote code execution.
(CVE-2009-0193, CVE-2009-0928, CVE-2009-1061, CVE-2009-1062)

If an attacker can trick a user into opening a specially crafted PDF file, these flaws can exploited to execute arbitrary code subject to the user's privileges.

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Reader 9.1 / 8.1.4 / 7.1.1 or later.
