Unspecified vulnerability in the PRC component in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.4.7 on Windows, Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x through 9.4.6 on Mac OS X, Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x through 10.1.1 on Windows and Mac OS X, and Adobe Reader 9.x through 9.4.6 on UNIX allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unknown vectors, as exploited in the wild in December 2011.

Acrobat Reader was updated to version 9.4.7 to fix security issues (CVE-2011-2462, CVE-2011-4369)

Acrobat Reader was updated to version 9.4.7 to fix security issues.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201201-19 (Adobe Reader: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe Reader. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF       file using Adobe Reader, possibly resulting in the remote execution of       arbitrary code, a Denial of Service, or other impact.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Acrobat Reader was updated to version 9.4.7 to fix two security issues. (CVE-2011-2462 / CVE-2011-4369)

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote host is earlier than 10.1.2 / 9.5, and therefore affected by multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities.  An attacker could exploit these issues by tricking a user into opening a maliciously crafted Reader file, resulting in arbitrary code execution. 

Adobe Reader 10.1.2 is the first 10.x release to include fixes for CVE-2011-2462 and CVE-2011-4369.  These were previously fixed for 9.x releases in 9.4.7 (APSB11-30).

The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote host is earlier than 10.1.2 / 9.5, and therefore affected by multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities.  An attacker could exploit these issues by tricking a user into opening a maliciously crafted Acrobat file, resulting in arbitrary code execution. 

Adobe Acrobat 10.1.2 is the first 10.x release to include fixes for CVE-2011-2462 and CVE-2011-4369.  These were previously fixed for 9.x releases in 9.4.7 (APSB11-30).

Updated acroread packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extras and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 Supplementary.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

Adobe Reader allows users to view and print documents in Portable Document Format (PDF).

This update fixes two security flaws in Adobe Reader. These flaws are detailed on the Adobe security page APSB11-30, listed in the References section. A specially crafted PDF file could cause Adobe Reader to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Adobe Reader when opened. (CVE-2011-2462, CVE-2011-4369)

All Adobe Reader users should install these updated packages. They contain Adobe Reader version 9.4.7, which is not vulnerable to these issues. All running instances of Adobe Reader must be restarted for the update to take effect.

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior or equal to 10.1.1 or 9.4.6. It is, therefore, affected by a memory corruption issue related to the Universal 3D (U3D) file format.
A remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to view a maliciously crafted PDF file, to cause an application crash or to execute arbitrary code.

Note that the Adobe Reader X user-specific option to use 'Protected Mode' prevents an exploit of this kind from being executed, but Nessus cannot test for this configuration option.

The remote Windows host contains a version of Adobe Reader earlier than 9.4.7.  Such versions are affected by multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities related to the 'Universal 3D' (U3D) file format and the 'Product Representation Compact' (PRC)  component.

A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into viewing a maliciously crafted PDF file, causing application crashes and potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution.

This plugin does not check for Reader 10.x releases, which are vulnerable but were not fixed until APSB12-01. Refer to plugin 57484 for more information.
