Descriptions
An issue was discovered in Adobe Acrobat and Reader: 2017.012.20098 and earlier versions, 2017.011.30066 and earlier versions, 2015.006.30355 and earlier versions, and 11.0.22 and earlier versions. This vulnerability is an instance of a type confusion vulnerability in the EMF processing module. The issue causes the program to access an object using an incompatible type, leading to an out of bounds memory access. Attackers can exploit the vulnerability by using the out of bounds access for unintended reads, writes, or frees -- potentially leading to code corruption, control-flow hijack, or information leak attack.
Se ha descubierto un problema en Adobe Acrobat y Reader: 2017.012.20098 y versiones anteriores, 2017.011.30066 y versiones anteriores, 2015.006.30355 y versiones anteriores y 11.0.22 y versiones anteriores. La vulnerabilidad es un ejemplo de confusión de tipos en el módulo de procesamiento EMF. El problema provoca que el programa acceda a un objeto empleando un tipo no compatible, desembocando en un acceso a la memoria fuera de límites. Los atacantes pueden explotar esta vulnerabilidad empleando el acceso fuera de límites para lecturas, escrituras o liberaciones no planeadas. Esto podría desembocar en la corrupción de código, secuestro del flujo de control o un ataque de filtrado de información.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Adobe Acrobat Pro 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 parsing of EMR_COMMENT structures within EMF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the current process.
