Adobe Reader < 10.1.14 / 11.0.11 Multiple Vulnerabilities (APSB15-10)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 83473

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 a version prior to 10.1.14 / 11.0.11. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A buffer overflow condition exists in CoolType.dll due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2014-9160)

- An out-of-bounds read flaw exists in CoolType.dll due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker, via a specially crafted PDF file, can cause the application to crash and disclose memory contents.
(CVE-2014-9161).

- Multiple input validation, NULL pointer dereference, and use-after-free flaws exist that allow memory corruption, arbitrary code execution, and buffer overflow attacks.
(CVE-2015-3047,CVE-2015-3048, CVE-2015-3049, CVE-2015-3050, CVE-2015-3051, CVE-2015-3052, CVE-2015-3053, CVE-2015-3054, CVE-2015-3055, CVE-2015-3056, CVE-2015-3057, CVE-2015-3058, CVE-2015-3059, CVE-2015-3070, CVE-2015-3075, CVE-2015-3076)

- Multiple unspecified flaws in the JavaScript API allow an attacker to bypass JavaScript API restrictions.
(CVE-2015-3060, CVE-2015-3061, CVE-2015-3062, CVE-2015-3063, CVE-2015-3064, CVE-2015-3065, CVE-2015-3066, CVE-2015-3067, CVE-2015-3068, CVE-2015-3069, CVE-2015-3071, CVE-2015-3072, CVE-2015-3073, CVE-2015-3074)

- An XML external entity injection flaw exists that allows information disclosure. (CVE-2014-8452)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Reader 10.1.14 / 11.0.11 or later.
