Descriptions

Adobe Photoshop CC versions 19.1.8 and earlier and 20.0.5 and earlier have an out of bound read vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to memory leak.

Adobe Photoshop CC versiones 19.1.8 y anteriores y 20.0.5 y anteriores tienen una vulnerabilidad de confusión de tipos. La explotación exitosa podría conducir a la ejecución de código arbitrario.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected 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 processing of the hsbw command in PostScript. 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 buffer. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the current process.
