Multiple Vulnerabilities in Adobe Products Could Allow for Arbitrary Code Execution

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe products, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution.

  • Adobe RoboHelp Server is a help authoring tool
  • Adobe Photoshop is a graphics editor
  • Adobe Acrobat and Reader are used to view, create, print, and mange PDF files
  • Adobe Character and Animator is a desktop application software product that combines real-time motion-capture with a multi-track recording system to control layered 2D puppets drawn in Photoshop or Illustrator.

Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution. Depending on the privileges associated with the user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
