Descriptions

The addForegroundSprite function 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 obtain sensitive information from process memory via invalid arguments, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-6697, CVE-2015-6700, CVE-2015-6701, CVE-2015-6702, CVE-2015-6703, and CVE-2015-6704.

La función addForegroundSprite 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 obtener información sensible de la memoria de proceso a través de argumentos no válidos, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-6697, CVE-2015-6700, CVE-2015-6701, CVE-2015-6702, CVE-2015-6703 y CVE-2015-6704.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to gain information about the layout of memory 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 the handling of the addForegroundSprite function. The issue lies in excess values being returned in the error message when improper arguments are given. An attacker can use this information in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code under the context of the process.
