Adobe Creative Cloud version 5.5 (and earlier) are affected by an Application denial of service vulnerability in the Creative Cloud Desktop installer. An authenticated attacker with root privileges could leverage this vulnerability to achieve denial of service by planting a malicious file on the victims local machine. User interaction is required before product installation to abuse this vulnerability.
The product creates a temporary file in a directory whose permissions allow unintended actors to determine the file’s existence or otherwise access that file.
