TITLE

Adobe Reader and Acrobat of PRC Vulnerability in arbitrary code execution in components

DESCRIPTION

Unspecified vulnerability in the PRC component in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.4.7 on Windows, Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x through 9.4.6 on Mac OS X, Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x through 10.1.1 on Windows and Mac OS X, and Adobe Reader 9.x through 9.4.6 on UNIX allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unknown vectors, as exploited in the wild in December 2011. Adobe Reader and Acrobat of PRC Component can be executed arbitrary code or denial of service ( Memory corruption ) There is a vulnerability that becomes a condition.Arbitrary code is executed or service operation is interrupted by a third party ( Memory corruption ) There is a possibility of being put into a state. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions. There are unidentified security vulnerabilities in PRC components in multiple versions of Adobe. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service (memory corruption) with the help of an unknown vector. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Critical: acroread security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2012:0011-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extras Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-0011.html Issue date: 2012-01-10 CVE Names: CVE-2011-2462 CVE-2011-4369 ===================================================================== 1.

The contents of this document are licensed under the Creative Commons - Attribution / Share Alike license. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5 . I. Description Adobe Security Bulletin APSB11-30 and Adobe Security Advisory APSA11-04 describe a number of vulnerabilities affecting Adobe Reader and Acrobat. These vulnerabilities affect Reader and Acrobat 9.4.6 and earlier 9.x versions. These vulnerabilities also affect Reader X and Acrobat X 10.1.1 and earlier 10.x versions. 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. Adobe Reader X and Adobe Acrobat X will be patched in the next quarterly update scheduled for January 10, 2012. II. Impact These vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, write arbitrary files or folders to the file system, escalate local privileges, or cause a denial of service on an affected system as the result of a user opening a malicious PDF file. III. Solution Update Reader Adobe has released updates to address this issue. Users are encouraged to read Adobe Security Bulletin APSB11-30 and update vulnerable versions of Adobe Reader and Acrobat. In addition to updating, please consider the following mitigations. Disable Flash in Adobe Reader and Acrobat Disabling Flash in Adobe Reader will mitigate attacks that rely on Flash content embedded in a PDF file. Disabling 3D & Multimedia support does not directly address the vulnerability, but it does provide additional mitigation and results in a more user-friendly error message instead of a crash. Disabling these plugins will reduce functionality and will not protect against Flash content that is hosted on websites. Depending on the update schedule for products other than Flash Player, consider leaving Flash and 3D & Multimedia support disabled unless they are absolutely required. Disable JavaScript in Adobe Reader and Acrobat Disabling JavaScript may prevent some exploits from resulting in code execution. 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 framework 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. Remove or restrict access to 3difr.x3d By removing or restricting access to the 3difr.x3d file, Adobe Reader and Acrobat will fail to render U3D content, which helps to mitigate this vulnerability. PDF documents that use the PRC format for 3D content will continue to function on Windows and Linux platforms. To disable U3D support in Adobe Reader 9 on Microsoft Windows, delete or rename this file: "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins3d\3difr.x3d" For Apple Mac OS X, delete or rename this directory: "/Applications/Adobe Reader 9/Adobe Reader.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe3D.framework" For GNU/Linux, delete or rename this file (locations may vary among distributions): "/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins3d/3difr.x3d" File locations may be different for Adobe Acrobat or other Adobe products or versions. 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.
