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. The vulnerability is caused by the computation that writes data past the end of the intended buffer; the computation is part of the document identity representation. An attacker can potentially leverage the vulnerability to corrupt sensitive data or execute arbitrary code.

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. La vulnerabilidad se debe a un cálculo que escribe datos más allá del final del búfer planeado; el cálculo forma parte de la representación de identidad del documento. Un atacante podría aprovechar la vulnerabilidad para corromper datos sensibles o ejecutar código arbitrario.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information 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. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the current process.
