Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2018.011.20063 and earlier, 2017.011.30102 and earlier, and 2015.006.30452 and earlier have an integer overflow vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to information disclosure.
Adobe Acrobat y Reader en versiones 2018.011.20063 y anteriores, 2017.011.30102 y anteriores y 2015.006.30452 y anteriores, tienen una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de enteros. Su explotación con éxito podría resultar en una divulgación de información.
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 EMF files. When parsing EmfPlusDrawDriverstring records, the process does not properly validate user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before allocating a buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
