Las versiones de Adobe Acrobat Reader 15.020.20042 y anteriores, 15.006.30244 y anteriores, 11.0.18 y anteriores tienen una vulnerabilidad explotable de desbordamiento de pila en el motor XSLT relacionada con la manipulación de plantilla. Una explotación exitosa podría conducir a la ejecución de código arbitrario.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Acrobat 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 XSLT's apply-templates. 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.
