Race condition in the MoveFileEx call hook feature in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 11.x before 11.0.09 on Windows allows attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism, and consequently write to files in arbitrary locations, via an NTFS junction attack, a similar issue to CVE-2014-0568.

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote host is a version prior to 10.1.13 / 11.0.10. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Memory corruption errors exist that allow arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2014-8445, CVE-2014-8446, CVE-2014-8447,     CVE-2014-8456, CVE-2014-8458, CVE-2014-8459,     CVE-2014-8461, CVE-2014-9158)

  - An improperly implemented JavaScript API allows     information disclosure. (CVE-2014-8448, CVE-2014-8451)

  - An integer overflow vulnerability exists that allows     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-8449)

  - An error in handling XML external entities allows     information disclosure. (CVE-2014-8452)

  - A same-origin policy error allows security bypass.
    (CVE-2014-8453)

  - Use-after-free errors exist that allow arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2014-8454, CVE-2014-8455, CVE-2014-9165)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow flaws exist that allow     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-8457, CVE-2014-8460,     CVE-2014-9159).

  - A time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition     allows arbitrary file system writes. (CVE-2014-9150)

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 a version prior to 10.1.12 / 11.0.09. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A use-after-free error exists that allows arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2014-0560)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow exists that allows     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0561, CVE-2014-0567)

  - A memory corruption error exists that allows denial of     service attacks. (CVE-2014-0563)

  - Memory corruption errors exist that allows arbitrary     code execution. (CVE-2014-0565, CVE-2014-0566)

  - An unspecified error exists that allows the bypassing     of the sandbox security restrictions. (CVE-2014-0568)

  - A race condition exists in the 'MoveFileEx' call hook     feature that allows attackers to bypass the sandbox     protection mechanism to write files to arbitrary     locations. Note that this issue only affects Adobe     Reader 11.x. This issue has not been officially fixed     in APSB14-20; however, it is unlikely to be exploitable     due to a related defense-in-depth change in version     11.0.09. (CVE-2014-9150)
