medium Nessus Plugin ID 149447

Language:

Synopsis

The Adobe Media Encoder installed on the remote Windows host is affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability

Description

The version of Adobe Media Encoder installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 15.2. It is, therefore, affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, to escalate their privileges on an affected system.

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

Solution

Upgrace Adobe Media Encoder to version 15.2 or later.
