CVE reference:CVE-2007-2682


Description:
A security issue has been reported in Adobe Version Cue, which may result in the firewall being disabled.

During installation on a Mac system, the application disables the Mac OS X personal firewall to set up certain ports to allow controlled access through the firewall service. The problem is that the firewall is not re-enabled once the setup is finished. This may leave certain system services open to attacks.

The security issue is reported in Adobe Version Cue CS3 Server, installed as part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium, Design Standard, Web Premium, or Web Standard editions.

Solution:
The vendor recommends enabling the firewall manually. Please see the vendor's advisory for details.

Provided and/or discovered by:
Reported by the vendor.
