Questions about CVE-2009-3953
What does this mean?
The U3D 3D-content support in Adobe Reader and Acrobat has an array boundary issue. The advisory says this could lead to arbitrary code execution.Source: bugzilla.redhat.com
Am I affected, and how do I check?
The description names Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.3, 8.x before 8.2, and 7.x before 7.1.4 on Windows and Mac OS X. To check a version, open Help > About in the installed product and compare the number with those ranges.Source: bugzilla.redhat.com
What should I do about it?
The checked facts do not name a fixed release or link to an advisory, so confirm the patched version with Adobe before relying on any version number.Source: bugzilla.redhat.com
Is it being exploited?
Yes. CISA added it to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2022-06-08, which means it has evidence of attacks. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cisa.gov, cve.now feed data
What if there's no patch?
The checked facts do not list a workaround, and they do not say whether one exists.Source: bugzilla.redhat.com
