TYPE: Audio & Video

Two vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Audition, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system. These issues are caused by buffer overflow and memory corruption errors when processing Session (.ses) files, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code by convincing a user to open a malicious file.


Impact

  • Remote Code Execution

System / Technologies affected

  • Adobe Audition 3.0.1 and earlier versions for Windows

Solutions

  • Vulnerability Has No Patch Available

Adobe strongly recommends Audition users discontinue use of the Adobe Session (.ses) file format and switch to use of the XML session format. XML is a human-readable standard for electronically encoding documents with numerous benefits over binary formats. With the release of Audition CS5.5, the binary Audition Session (.ses) file format is no longer supported.
