Adobe Reader y Acrobat 10.x en versiones anteriores a 10.1.16 y 11.x en versiones anteriores a 11.0.13, Acrobat y Acrobat Reader DC Classic en versiones anteriores a 2015.006.30094 y Acrobat y Acrobat Reader DC Continuous en versiones anteriores a 2015.009.20069 en Windows y OS X permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) a través de un conjunto de campos manipulados, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-6685, CVE-2015-6693, CVE-2015-6694, CVE-2015-6695 y CVE-2015-7622.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Reader DC. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The flaw exists within the handling of specific fields. A specially crafted PDF file with a specific combination of fields can force a dangling pointer to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
