Descriptions
Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 15.020.20042 and earlier, 15.006.30244 and earlier, 11.0.18 and earlier have an exploitable heap overflow vulnerability in the image conversion engine, related to parsing of color profile metadata. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution.
Las versiones de Adobe Acrobat Reader 15.020.20042 y anteriores, 15.006.30244 y anteriores, 11.0.18 y anteriores tienen una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de memoria dinámica explotable en el motor de conversión de imágenes, relacionado con el análisis de los metadatos de perfil de color. Una explotación satisfactoria podría conducir a la ejecución de 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 ImageConversion's JPEG parsing. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
