TITLE

Adobe Reader and Acrobat of custom heap management system Heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Heap-based buffer overflow in the custom heap management system in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.3.2, and 8.x before 8.2.2 on Windows and Mac OS X, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted PDF document, aka FG-VD-10-005. Adobe Acrobat and Reader are prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. The following products are affected: Adobe Reader 9.3.1 and prior for Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1 and prior for Windows and Macintosh Adobe Reader 8.2.1 and prior for Windows and Macintosh Acrobat 8.2.1 and prior for Windows and Macintosh NOTE: This issue was originally documented in BID 39329 (Adobe Acrobat and Reader April 2010 Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities); it has been assigned its own BID to better document the vulnerability. Impact: Remote Code Execution. Risk: High. The vulnerable X3D component is a plugin used to display 3D material, which when present in a PDF document, can lead to exploitation (CVE-2010-0194). * Memory corruption through heap overflow in "CoolType.dll" (CVE-2010-1241). The vulnerabilities are triggered when opening and rendering a PDF document. A remote attacker could craft a malicious document which exploits either one of these vulnerabilities, allowing them to compromise a system. FortiGuard Labs released the following signatures to protect against these vulnerabilities * "Adobe.Reader.DeviceRGB.Subtype.Stream.Memory.Corruption", previously released as "FG-VD-10-003-Adobe" (CVE-2010-0194). * "Adobe.Reader.Acrobat.Pro.CFF.Encodings.Handling.Heap.Overflow", previously released as "FG-VD-10-005-Adobe" (CVE-2010-1241). References: * Adobe Security Bulletin: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-09.html * CVE ID: CVE-2010-0194 * CVE ID: CVE-2010-1241 Acknowledgment: * Bing Liu of Fortinet's FortiGuard Labs (CVE-2010-0194) * Haifei Li of Fortinet's FortiGuard Labs (CVE-2010-1241) . I. These vulnerabilities affect Reader and Acrobat 9.3.1 and earlier 9.x versions, and 8.2.1 and earlier versions. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF file. The Adobe Reader browser plug-in is available for multiple web browsers and operating systems, which can automatically open PDF documents hosted on a website. II. III. For a fresh installation, first install Adobe Reader 9.3.0 or 8.2.0 and then use the automatic update feature or install the appropriate update referenced in APSB10-09. Acrobat JavaScript can be disabled using the Preferences menu (Edit -> Preferences -> JavaScript; uncheck Enable Acrobat JavaScript). Adobe provides a framework to blacklist specific JavaScipt APIs. If JavaScript must be enabled, this feature may be useful when specific APIs are known to be vulnerable or used in attacks. Prevent Internet Explorer from automatically opening PDF documents The installer for Adobe Reader and Acrobat configures Internet Explorer to automatically open PDF files without any user interaction. This behavior can be reverted to a safer option that prompts the user by importing the following as a .REG file: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7] "EditFlags"=hex:00,00,00,00 Disable the display of PDF documents in the web browser Preventing PDF documents from opening inside a web browser will partially mitigate this vulnerability. If this workaround is applied, it may also mitigate future vulnerabilities. To prevent PDF documents from automatically being opened in a web browser, do the following: 1. 2. Open the Edit menu. 3. Choose the Preferences option. 4. Choose the Internet section. 5. Uncheck the "Display PDF in browser" checkbox. Do not access PDF documents from untrusted sources Do not open unfamiliar or unexpected PDF documents, particularly those hosted on websites or delivered as email attachments.
