Synopsis

The remote host has an application installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Adobe After Effects installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 18.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

- A vulnerability exists allowing access of memory location after the end of the buffer. An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code on an affected system. (CVE-2021-35996, CVE-2021-36017)

- An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in Adobe After Effects. An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code on an affected system. (CVE-2021-35993, CVE-2021-35994)

- An input validation vulnerability exists in Adobe After Effects. An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code on an affected system. (CVE-2021-35995)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe After Effects version 18.4 or later.
