TITLE

Adobe Reader and Acrobat Font Parsing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Stack-based buffer overflow in CoolType.dll in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.4, and 8.x before 8.2.5 on Windows and Mac OS X, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a PDF document with a long field in a Smart INdependent Glyphlets (SING) table in a TTF font, as exploited in the wild in September 2010. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information. Adobe Reader and Acrobat contains a buffer overflow vulnerability. Adobe Reader and Acrobat for, CoolType.dll There is a buffer overflow vulnerability due to the font analysis code of this application. Attacks exploiting this vulnerability have been confirmed.Crafted PDF When a user views the document, arbitrary code may be executed or a denial of service may occur. (DoS) You may be attacked. 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secure your corporate defenses and reduce complexity in handling vulnerability threats with the new Secunia Vulnerability Intelligence Manager (VIM). This fixes multiple vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges and by malicious people to compromise a user's system. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 National Cyber Alert System Technical Cyber Security Alert TA10-279A Adobe Reader and Acrobat Affected by Multiple Vulnerabilities Original release date: October 06, 2010 Last revised: -- Source: US-CERT Systems Affected * Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX * Adobe Acrobat 9.3.4 and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh * Adobe Reader 8.2.4 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX * Adobe Acrobat 8.2.4 and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh Overview Adobe has released Security Bulletin APSB10-21, which describes multiple vulnerabilities affecting Adobe Reader and Acrobat. I. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF file. The Adobe Reader browser plug-in, which can automatically open PDF documents hosted on a website, is available for multiple web browsers and operating systems. II. III. Solution Update Adobe has released updates to address this issue. 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 files 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 files in the web browser Preventing PDF files 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 files 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 files from untrusted sources Do not open unfamiliar or unexpected PDF files, particularly those hosted on websites or delivered as email attachments.
