Adobe Reader y Acrobat en versiones anteriores a 11.0.16, Acrobat y Acrobat Reader DC Classic en versiones anteriores a 15.006.30172 y Acrobat y Acrobat Reader DC Continuous en versiones anteriores a 15.016.20039 sobre Windows y OS X permiten a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario o provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) a través de vectores no especificados, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2016-1037, CVE-2016-1063, CVE-2016-1064, CVE-2016-1071, CVE-2016-1072, CVE-2016-1073, CVE-2016-1074, CVE-2016-1076, CVE-2016-1077, CVE-2016-1080, CVE-2016-1081, CVE-2016-1082, CVE-2016-1083, CVE-2016-1084, CVE-2016-1085, CVE-2016-1086, CVE-2016-1088, CVE-2016-1093, CVE-2016-1095, CVE-2016-1116, CVE-2016-1118, CVE-2016-1119, CVE-2016-1120, CVE-2016-1123, CVE-2016-1124, CVE-2016-1125, CVE-2016-1126, CVE-2016-1127, CVE-2016-1128, CVE-2016-1129, CVE-2016-1130, CVE-2016-4088, CVE-2016-4089, CVE-2016-4090, CVE-2016-4093, CVE-2016-4094, CVE-2016-4096, CVE-2016-4097, CVE-2016-4098, CVE-2016-4099, CVE-2016-4100, CVE-2016-4101, CVE-2016-4103, CVE-2016-4104 y CVE-2016-4105.

This vulnerability allows an attacker to leak sensitive information 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 JPEG2000 files. The issue lies in the failure to validate the value of the numcomps field in the ihdr tag. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose the contents of adjacent memory.
