Gentoo GLSA-200908-04 Normal: Adobe Reader And Flash Remote Code Exec

Multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash Player allow for attacks including the remote execution of arbitrary code.. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200908-04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: Adobe products: Multiple vulnerabilities Date: August 07, 2009 Bugs: #278813, #278819 ID: 200908-04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======= Multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash Player allow for attacks including the remote execution of arbitrary code. Background ========= Adobe Flash Player is a closed-source playback software for Flash SWF files. Adobe Reader is a closed-source PDF reader that plays Flash content as well. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-plugins/adobe-flash < 10.0.32.18 > = 10.0.32.18 2 app-text/acroread < 9.1.3 > = 9.1.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Description ========== Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Adobe Flash Player: * lakehu of Tencent Security Center reported an unspecified memory corruption vulnerability (CVE-2009-1862). * Mike Wroe reported an unspecified vulnerability, related to "privilege escalation" (CVE-2009-1863). * An anonymous researcher through iDefense reported an unspecified heap-based bufferoverflow (CVE-2009-1864). * Chen Chen of Venustech reported an unspecified "null pointer vulnerability" (CVE-2009-1865). * Chen Chen of Venustech reported an unspecified stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-1866). * Joran Benker reported that Adobe Flash Player facilitates "clickjacking" attacks (CVE-2009-1867). * Jun Mao of iDefense reported a heap-based buffer overflow, related to URL parsing (CVE-2009-1868). * Roee Hay of IBM Rational Application Security reported an unspecified integer overflow (CVE-2009-1869). * Gareth Heyes and Microsoft Vulnerability Research reported that the sandbox in Adobe Flash Player allows for information disclosure, when "SWFs are saved to the hard drive" (CVE-2009-1870). Impact ===== A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF file or web site containing Adobe Flash (SWF) contents, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service (application crash). Furthermore, a remote attacker could trick a user into clicking a button on a dialog by supplying a specially crafted SWF file and disclose sensitive information by exploiting a sandbox issue. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All Adobe Flash Player users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot -v "> =www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.0.32.18" All Adobe Reader users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =app-text/acroread-9.1.3" References ========= [ 1 ] CVE-2009-1862 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-1862 [ 2 ] CVE-2009-1863 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-1863 [ 3 ] CVE-2009-1864 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-1864 [ 4 ] CVE-2009-1865 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-1865 [ 5 ] CVE-2009-1866 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-1866 [ 6 ]CVE-2009-1867 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-1867 [ 7 ] CVE-2009-1868 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-1868 [ 8 ] CVE-2009-1869 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-1869 [ 9 ] CVE-2009-1870 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-1870 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200908-04 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.

Background ========= Adobe Reader (formerly Adobe Acrobat Reader) is a closed-source PDF reader. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-text/acroread < 8.1.3 > = 8.1.3 Description ========== * An unspecified vulnerability can be triggered by a malformed PDF document, as demonstrated by 2008-HI2.pdf (CVE-2008-2549). * Peter Vreugdenhil, Dyon Balding, Will Dormann, Damian Frizza, and Greg MacManus reported a stack-based buffer overflow in the util.printf JavaScript function that incorrectly handles the format string argument (CVE-2008-2992). * Greg MacManus of iDefense Labs reported an array index error that can be leveraged for an out-of-bounds write, related to parsing of Type 1 fonts (CVE-2008-4812). * Javier Vicente Vallejo and Peter Vregdenhil, via Zero Day Initiative, reported multiple unspecified memory corruption vulnerabilities (CVE-2008-4813). * Thomas Garnier of SkyRecon Systems reported an unspecified vulnerability in a JavaScript method, related to an "input validation issue" (CVE-2008-4814). * Josh Bressersof Red Hat reported an untrusted search path vulnerability (CVE-2008-4815). * Peter Vreugdenhil reported through iDefense that the Download Manager can trigger a heap corruption via calls to the AcroJS function (CVE-2008-4817). Impact ===== A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF document, and local attackers could entice a user to run acroread from an untrusted working directory. Both might result in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time.
