The LookingGlass Vendor of the Week: Adobe

With the CanSecWest PWN2OWN contest pending the vendor for this week is particularly important. Adobe is fair game in PWN2OWN and this week it gets the scrutiny of the LookingGlass scanner. The first screenshot is from a filesystem scan, the second is the process scan of the Adobe reader, the 3rd is of a Flash helper application that I was unaware was running and I still don’t really know what it does. Since Flash is owned by Adobe now I decided to include it. As you can see there is an abundance of dangerous features and spotty support for ASLR and NX.
Up next week is AT&T.
