It is possible to execute arbitrary code on a victim's machine if the victim is tricked into opening a malicious PDF file. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2005-1625 to this issue. Please note that there is no browser plugin included with the x86_64 Adobe Acrobat Reader package; Therefore the security impact of this issue on x86_64 is reduced from 'critical' to 'important'. Additionally Secunia Research discovered a bug in the way Adobe Acrobat Reader creates temporary files. When a user opens a document, temporary files are created which may be world readable, allowing a local user to view sensitive information. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2005-1841 to this issue. All users of Acrobat Reader are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Acrobat Reader version 7.0.0 and are not vulnerable to this issue." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://www.redhat.com/security/data/cve/CVE-2005-1625.html" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://www.redhat.com/security/data/cve/CVE-2005-1841.html" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/329083.html" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-575.html" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"solution", value:"Update the affected acroread and / or acroread-plugin packages." ); script_set_cvss_base_vector("CVSS2#AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"plugin_type", value:"local"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:redhat:enterprise_linux:acroread"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:redhat:enterprise_linux:acroread-plugin"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:3"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:4"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"patch_publication_date", value:"2005/07/08"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"plugin_publication_date", value:"2005/07/10"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"vuln_publication_date", value:"2005/06/29"); script_end_attributes(); script_category(ACT_GATHER_INFO); script_copyright(english:"This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc."); script_family(english:"Red Hat Local Security Checks"); script_dependencies("ssh_get_info.nasl"); script_require_keys("Host/local_checks_enabled", "Host/RedHat/release", "Host/RedHat/rpm-list"); exit(0); } include("audit.inc"); include("global_settings.inc"); include("rpm.inc"); if (!get_kb_item("Host/local_checks_enabled")) audit(AUDIT_LOCAL_CHECKS_NOT_ENABLED); release = get_kb_item("Host/RedHat/release"); if (isnull(release) || "Red Hat" >!< release) audit(AUDIT_OS_NOT, "Red Hat"); if (!get_kb_item("Host/RedHat/rpm-list")) audit(AUDIT_PACKAGE_LIST_MISSING); cpu = get_kb_item("Host/cpu"); if (isnull(cpu)) audit(AUDIT_UNKNOWN_ARCH); if ("x86_64" >!< cpu && cpu !~ "^i[3-6]86$" && "s390" >!< cpu) audit(AUDIT_LOCAL_CHECKS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED, "Red Hat", cpu); flag = 0; if (rpm_check(release:"RHEL3", cpu:"i386", reference:"acroread-7.0.0-4.1.0.EL3")) flag++; if (rpm_check(release:"RHEL3", cpu:"i386", reference:"acroread-plugin-7.0.0-4.1.0.EL3")) flag++; if (rpm_check(release:"RHEL4", cpu:"i386", reference:"acroread-7.0.0-4.2.0.EL4")) flag++; if (rpm_check(release:"RHEL4", cpu:"i386", reference:"acroread-plugin-7.0.0-4.2.0.EL4")) flag++; if (flag) { if (report_verbosity > 0) security_warning(port:0, extra:rpm_report_get()); else security_warning(0); exit(0); } else audit(AUDIT_HOST_NOT, "affected");
