Adobe Acrobat and Reader, versiones 2019.021.20056 y anteriores, 2017.011.30152 y anteriores, 2017.011.30155 y anteriores, 2017.011.30152 y anteriores, y 2015.006.30505 y anteriores, presenta una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de pila. Una explotación con éxito podría conllevar a una ejecución de código arbitrario.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected 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 processing of embedded fonts. 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 in the context of the current process.

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC for Windows suffers from a heap-based memory corruption vulnerability due to malformed TTF font handling.
