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. The vulnerability is caused by a computation that writes data past the end of the intended buffer; the computation is part of handling an EMF EMR_BITBLT record. The vulnerability is a result of an out of range pointer offset that is used to access sub-elements of an internal data structure. An attacker can potentially leverage the vulnerability to corrupt sensitive data or execute arbitrary code.

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 se debe a un cálculo que escribe datos más allá del final del búfer planeado; el cálculo forma parte de la manipulación de un registro EMF EMR_BITBLT. La vulnerabilidad es el resultado de un offset de puntero fuera de rango que se emplea para acceder a subelementos de una estructura de datos interna. Un atacante podría aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para corromper datos sensibles o ejecutar código arbitrario.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code 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 GIF images embedded inside EMF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
