Synopsis

Adobe Animate installed on remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The version of Adobe Animate installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 22.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the apsb21-105 advisory.

- Adobe Animate version 21.0.9 (and earlier) are affected by an out-of-bounds write vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious BMP file. (CVE-2021-42270, CVE-2021-42271, CVE-2021-42524)

- Adobe Animate version 21.0.9 (and earlier) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability due to insecure handling of a malicious .psd file, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-40733)

- Adobe Animate version 21.0.9 (and earlier) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability due to insecure handling of a malicious FLA file, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-42266, CVE-2021-42267)

- Adobe Animate version 21.0.9 (and earlier) is affected by a Null pointer dereference vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted FLA file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve an application denial-of-service in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-42268)

- Adobe Animate version 21.0.9 (and earlier) are affected by a use-after-free vulnerability in the processing of a malformed FLA file that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-42269)

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