Descriptions
Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2018.011.20038 and earlier, 2017.011.30079 and earlier, and 2015.006.30417 and earlier have a Heap Overflow vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.
Adobe Acrobat y Reader en versiones 2018.011.20038 y anteriores, 2017.011.30079 y anteriores y 2015.006.30417 y anteriores tienen una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de memoria dinámica (heap). 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 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 BMP 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.
