Adobe Photoshop CC . Adobe hurried outVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilityunscheduled patches today for two critical flaws that could enable remote code-execution in Photoshop CC . The patches impactVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilitytwo memory corruption vulnerabilities in Adobe Photoshop products , including Photoshop CC 2018 ( v 19.1.6 ) and Photoshop CC 2017 ( v 18.1.6 ) , both for Windows and macOS . The release comesVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilityonly a week after the company fixedVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilitya slew of glitches last Patch Tuesday . “ Adobe has releasedVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilityupdates for Photoshop CC for Windows and macOS , ” the company said in a Wednesday security bulletin . “ These updates resolveVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilitycritical vulnerabilities in Photoshop CC 19.1.5 and earlier 19.x versions , as well as 18.1.5 and earlier 18.x versions . Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code-execution in the context of the current user. ” Both vulnerabilities ( CVE-2018-12810 ) and ( CVE-2018-12811 ) are critical remote code-execution flaws , according to the advisory , but further details around both flaws are not available . Kushal Arvind Shah of Fortinet ’ s FortiGuard Labs was credited with reportingVulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerabilitythe two flaws . Adobe said impacted users need to applyVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilitythe fixes to the affected versions of Photoshop by updating to version 19.1.6 ( via the applications ’ update mechanism ) . Last week , Adobe releasedVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability11 total fixes for an array of products , including two critical patches for Acrobat and Reader for Windows and macOS . Exploitation of those two vulnerabilities could lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user . Adobe said in an email that it is not aware of any exploits in the wild for the flaws . The update is a priority 3 in severity , meaning that it resolves vulnerabilities in a product that has historically not been a target for attackers , according to the company ’ s ranking system . In this case I would expect there may have been a disclosure deadline and the release did not make this month ’ s typical release cycle but needed to release before September ’ s release cycle . ”
Overall , the chip giant patchedVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilityfive vulnerabilities across an array of its products . Intel on Tuesday patchedVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilitythree high-severity vulnerabilities that could allow the escalation of privileges across an array of products . Overall , the chip giant fixedVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilityfive bugs – three rated high-severity , and two medium-severity . The most concerning of these bugs is an escalation-of-privilege glitch in Intel ’ s PROset/Wireless Wi-Fi software , which is its wireless connection management tool . The vulnerability , CVE-2018-12177 , has a “ high ” CVSS score of 7.8 , according to Intel ’ s update . “ Intel is releasingVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilitysoftware updates to mitigateVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilitythis potential vulnerability , ” it said , urging users to updateVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilityto version 20.90.0.7 or later of the software . The vulnerability , reportedVulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerabilityby Thomas Hibbert of Insomnia Security , stems from improper directory permissions plaguing the software ’ s ZeroConfig service in versions before 20.90.0.7 . The issue could allow an authorized user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access . The other high-severity bug exists inVulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerabilitythe company ’ s System Support Utility for Windows , which offers support for Intel-packed Windows device users . This bug ( CVE-2019-0088 ) is due to insufficient path checking in the support utility , allowing an already-authenticated user to potentially gain escalation of privilege via local access . The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.5 . Versions of System Support Utility for Windows before 2.5.0.15 are impactedVulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability; Intel recommendsVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilityusers updateVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilityto versions 2.5.0.15 or later . Independent security researcher Alec Blance was credited with discoveringVulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerabilitythe flaw . The chip-maker also patchedVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilitya high-severity and medium-severity flaw in its Software Guard Extensions ( SGX ) platform and software , which help application developers to protect select code and data from disclosure or modification . “ Multiple potential security vulnerabilities in Intel SGX SDK and Intel SGX Platform Software may allow escalation of privilege or information disclosure , ” saidVulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerabilityIntel . The high-severity flaw in SGX ( CVE-2018-18098 ) has a CVSS score of 7.5 and could allow an attacker with local access to gain escalated privileges . The vulnerability is rooted inVulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerabilityimproper file verification in the install routine for Intel ’ s SGX SDK and Platform Software for Windows before 2.2.100 . It was discoveredVulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerabilityby researcher Saif Allah ben Massaoud . Another vulnerability in the platform ( CVE-2018-12155 ) is only medium in severity , but could allow an unprivileged user to cause information disclosure via local access . That ’ s due to data leakageAttack.Databreachin the cryptographic libraries of the SGX platform ’ s Integrated Performance Primitives , a function that provides developers with building blocks for image and data processing . And finally , a medium escalation of privilege vulnerability in Intel ’ s SSD data-center tool for Windows has been patchedVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability. “ Improper directory permissions in the installer for the Intel SSD Data Center Tool for Windows before v3.0.17 may allow authenticated users to potentially enable an escalation of privilege via local access , ” saidVulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerabilityIntel ’ s update . The company recommends users update to v3.0.17 or later . Intel ’ s patch comesVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilityduring a busy patch Tuesday week , which includes fixes from Adobe and Microsoft .
