Synopsis

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

Description

The version of the Adobe Premiere Elements installed on the remote host is prior to 2021 build 19.0 (20211007.daily.2243969). It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities including the following:

 - A NULL pointer de-reference flaw exists in Adobe Premier Elements. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition when the application attempts to read or write memory with a NULL pointer. (CVE-2021-40785)

 - Multiple arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities exist in Adobe Premier Elements. An unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit these to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands. (CVE-2021-40786, CVE-2021-40787, CVE-2021-42526, CVE-2021-42527)

 - Multiple denial of service (DoS) vulnerabilities exist in Adobe Premier Elements. An unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit this issue to cause the application to stop responding. (CVE-2021-40788, CVE-2021-40789)

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