Descriptions

Adobe Photoshop CC versions 19.1.3 and earlier, 18.1.3 and earlier, and 18.1.2 and earlier have an Out-of-bounds write vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.

Adobe Photoshop CC en versiones 19.1.3 y anteriores, 18.1.3 y anteriores y 18.1.2 y anteriores tiene una vulnerabilidad de escritura fuera de límites. Su explotación con éxito podría permitir la ejecución de código arbitrario en el contexto del usuario actual.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Photoshop. 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 JPEG2000 files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
