Synopsis

The Adobe Media Encoder installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Adobe Media Encoder installed on the remote host is prior to 15.4.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

- Adobe Media Encoder has multiple arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities, due to access of memory location after end of buffer. (CVE-2021-40777, CVE-2021-40779, CVE-2021-43013, CVE-2021-40780)

 - Adobe Media Encoder has multiple denial of service vulnerabilities, due to a null pointer dereference.
 (CVE-2021-40778, CVE-2021-40781, CVE-2021-40782)

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

Solution

Upgrade Adobe Media Encoder to version 15.4.2, 22.0, or later.
