Synopsis
The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote Mac OS X host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 11.0.15, 15.006.30121, or 15.010.20060. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :- A memory corruption issue exists due to the use of uninitialized memory when handling annotation gestures.
A remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted PDF file, to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-1007)
- A flaw exists related to searching and loading dynamic-link library (DLL) files due to using a search path that may contain directories which are not trusted or under the user's control. An attacker can exploit this, by injecting a malicious DLL into the path, to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-1008)
- An array indexing error exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted PDF file, to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1009)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
