Synopsis

The version of Adobe Reader on the remote Windows host is affected by a sandbox bypass flaw.

Description

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote host is a version prior to 10.1.11 / 11.0.08. It is, therefore, affected by a sandbox bypass flaw which can allow an attacker to run arbitrary code with escalated privileges on Windows hosts.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Reader 10.1.11 / 11.0.08 or later.
