Descriptions
An issue was discovered in Adobe Acrobat Reader 2018.009.20050 and earlier versions, 2017.011.30070 and earlier versions, 2015.006.30394 and earlier versions. This vulnerability is an instance of a use after free vulnerability. The vulnerability is triggered by a crafted PDF file that can cause a memory access violation exception in the XFA engine because of a dangling reference left as a consequence of freeing an object in the computation that manipulates internal nodes in a graph representation of a document object model used in XFA. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution.
Se ha descubierto un problema en Adobe Acrobat Reader 2018.009.20050 y anteriores, 2017.011.30070 y anteriores y 2015.006.30394 y anteriores. Esta vulnerabilidad es un ejemplo de una vulnerabilidad de uso de memoria previamente liberada. La vulnerabilidad se desencadena por medio de un archivo RDF manipulado que puede provocar una excepción de violación de acceso en el motor XFA debido a una referencia pendiente que queda como consecuencia de liberar un objeto en el cálculo que manipula nodos internos en una representación gráfica de un modelo de objeto de documento empleado en XFA. La explotación con éxito de esta vulnerabilidad podría permitir la ejecución arbitraria de código.
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 the processing of XFA forms in PDF documents. A crafted dashDot attribute in an XFA form can cause a pointer to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
