CVE-2012-0777

TITLE

Adobe Flash vulnerability affects Flash Player and other Adobe products

DESCRIPTION

The JavaScript API in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.5.1 and 10.x before 10.1.3 on Mac OS X and Linux allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors. Adobe Flash contains a vulnerability that may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. Adobe Flash Player, Reader, Acrobat, and other products that include Flash support are affected. 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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Critical: acroread security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2012:0469-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extras Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-0469.html Issue date: 2012-04-10 CVE Names: CVE-2012-0774 CVE-2012-0775 CVE-2012-0777 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated acroread packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 Supplementary. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Supplementary (v. 5) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Supplementary (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Supplementary (v. 5) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Supplementary (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Supplementary (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: Adobe Reader allows users to view and print documents in Portable Document Format (PDF). This update fixes multiple security flaws in Adobe Reader. These flaws are detailed on the Adobe security page APSB12-08, listed in the References section. A specially-crafted PDF file could cause Adobe Reader to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Adobe Reader when opened. (CVE-2012-0774, CVE-2012-0775, CVE-2012-0777) All Adobe Reader users should install these updated packages. They contain Adobe Reader version 9.5.1, which is not vulnerable to these issues. All running instances of Adobe Reader must be restarted for the update to take effect. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258 5.

Flash player version 10.0.22.87 and earlier 10.x versions as well as Flash player version 9.0.159.0 and earlier 9.x versions are affected. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to visit a website that hosts a specially crafted SWF file. The Adobe Flash browser plugin is available for multiple web browsers and operating systems, any of which could be affected. An attacker could also create a PDF document that has an embedded SWF file to exploit the vulnerability. This vulnerability is being actively exploited. II. III. Solution These vulnerabilities can be mitigated by disabling the Flash plugin or by using the NoScript extension for Mozilla Firefox or SeaMonkey to whitelist websites that can access the Flash plugin. For more information about securely configuring web browsers, please see the Securing Your Web Browser document. US-CERT Vulnerability Note VU#259425 has additional details, as well as information about mitigating the PDF document attack vector.
