The installer in Adobe Reader 9.x before 9.5.1 and 10.x before 10.1.3 allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201206-14 (Adobe Reader: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Adobe Reader, including an       integer overflow in TrueType Font handling (CVE-2012-0774) and multiple       unspecified errors which could cause memory corruption.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF       file, possibly resulting in  execution of arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 10.1.3 or 9.5.1. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An integer overflow condition exists that allows an     attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted True     Type Font (TFF). (CVE-2012-0774)

  - A memory corruption issue exists in JavaScript handling     that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2012-0775)

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists in the Adobe     Reader installer that allows an attacker to execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-0776)

  - A memory corruption issue exists in the JavaScript API     that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code or     cause a denial of service. (CVE-2012-0777)

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

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote host is earlier than 10.1.3 / 9.5.1 and is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An integer overflow vulnerability exists in True Type     Font (TFF). (CVE-2012-0774)

  - A memory corruption vulnerability exists in the     JavaScript handling. (CVE-2012-0775)

  - A security bypass exists in the Adobe Reader installer.
    (CVE-2012-0776)

The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote host is earlier than 10.1.3 / 9.5.1 and is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An integer overflow vulnerability exists in True Type     Font (TFF). (CVE-2012-0774)

  - A memory corruption vulnerability exists in the     JavaScript handling. (CVE-2012-0775)

  - A security bypass exists in the Adobe Acrobat installer.
