Adobe Reader < 9.4.7 Multiple Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities (APSB11-30)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 57043

Language:

Synopsis

The version of Adobe Reader on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host contains a version of Adobe Reader earlier than 9.4.7. Such versions are affected by multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities related to the 'Universal 3D' (U3D) file format and the 'Product Representation Compact' (PRC) component.

A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into viewing a maliciously crafted PDF file, causing application crashes and potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution.

This plugin does not check for Reader 10.x releases, which are vulnerable but were not fixed until APSB12-01. Refer to plugin 57484 for more information.

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Reader 9.4.7 or later.
