It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2009-4324 in the wild since at least 8 Jun 2022.\n\nAffected product: Adobe Acrobat. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4324/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4324/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-4324","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4324/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-4324","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rv25-qx26-27xv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Adobe Reader","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via crafted PDF files exploiting a use-after-free flaw in Adobe Reader and Acrobat.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"adobe","cpe":[{"product":"acrobat","vendor":"adobe"},{"product":"acrobat_reader","vendor":"adobe"},{"product":"opensuse","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"linux_enterprise","vendor":"suse"},{"product":"linux_enterprise_debuginfo","vendor":"suse"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"Use-after-free vulnerability in the Doc.media.newPlayer method in Multimedia.api in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.3, and 8.x before 8.2 on Windows and Mac OS X, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file using ZLib compressed streams, as exploited in the wild in December 2009.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":3,"first_seen":"2009-12-14","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":2,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2009-12-14","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/windows/browser/adobe_media_newplayer","stars":null,"title":"Adobe Doc.media.newPlayer Use After Free Vulnerability"},{"date":"2009-12-14","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/windows/fileformat/adobe_media_newplayer","stars":null,"title":"Adobe Doc.media.newPlayer Use After Free Vulnerability"},{"date":"2009-12-23","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"10618","stars":null,"title":"Adobe Reader / Acrobat -
