Adobe Digital Editions versions 4.5.3 and earlier have an exploitable buffer over-read vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to information disclosure.

Adobe Digital Editions versión 4.5.3 y versiones anteriores tienen una vulnerabilidad de sobre lectura de búfer explotable. Explotación exitosa podría conducir a divulgación de información.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Adobe Digital Editions. 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 FlateDecode streams. A crafted FlateDecode stream can trigger a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
