Adobe Reader < 10.1.2 / 9.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities (APSB12-01)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 57484

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote host is earlier than 10.1.2 / 9.5, and therefore affected by multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities. An attacker could exploit these issues by tricking a user into opening a maliciously crafted Reader file, resulting in arbitrary code execution.

Adobe Reader 10.1.2 is the first 10.x release to include fixes for CVE-2011-2462 and CVE-2011-4369. These were previously fixed for 9.x releases in 9.4.7 (APSB11-30).

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Reader 9.5 / 10.1.2 or later.
