Descriptions

Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2018.009.20050 and earlier, 2017.011.30070 and earlier, 2015.006.30394 and earlier have an exploitable heap overflow vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.

Adobe Acrobat y Reader 2018.009.20050 y anteriores, 2017.011.30070 y anteriores y 2015.006.30394 y anteriores, tienen una vulnerabilidad explotable de desbordamiento de memoria dinámica (heap). Su explotación con éxito podría permitir la ejecución arbitraria de código en el contexto del usuario actual.

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 TIFF images embedded inside EMF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
