Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x before 10.1.15 and 11.x before 11.0.12, Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Classic before 2015.006.30060, and Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Continuous before 2015.008.20082 on Windows and OS X allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

Desbordamiento del buffer basado en pila en Adobe Reader y Acrobat 10.x anterior a 10.1.15 y 11.x anterior a 11.0.12, Acrobat y Acrobat Reader DC Classic anterior a 2015.006.30060 y Acrobat y Acrobat Reader DC Continuous anterior a 2015.008.20082 en Windows y OS X permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores no especificados.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Reader. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of arguments passed to the makeMeasurement method. A specially crafted argument passed to makeMeasurement can overflow a buffer of size 0x64 bytes. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
