Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote host is a version prior to 10.1.13 / 11.0.10. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Memory corruption errors exist that allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-8445, CVE-2014-8446, CVE-2014-8447, CVE-2014-8456, CVE-2014-8458, CVE-2014-8459, CVE-2014-8461, CVE-2014-9158)

- An improperly implemented JavaScript API allows information disclosure. (CVE-2014-8448, CVE-2014-8451)

- An integer overflow vulnerability exists that allows arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-8449)

- An error in handling XML external entities allows information disclosure. (CVE-2014-8452)

- A same-origin policy error allows security bypass.
(CVE-2014-8453)

- Use-after-free errors exist that allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-8454, CVE-2014-8455, CVE-2014-9165)

- Heap-based buffer overflow flaws exist that allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-8457, CVE-2014-8460, CVE-2014-9159).

- A time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition allows arbitrary file system writes. (CVE-2014-9150)

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