Descriptions
Heap-based buffer overflow in the AcroForm implementation in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x before 10.1.16 and 11.x before 11.0.13, Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Classic before 2015.006.30094, and Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Continuous before 2015.009.20069 on Windows and OS X allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-6696.
Desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica en la implementación AcroForm en 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 a través de vectores no especificados, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-6696.
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 specific flaw exists within AcroForm. A specially crafted form can force Adobe Reader DC to write past the end of an allocated object. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process.
