Descriptions

Adobe Illustrator version 24.2 (and earlier) is affected by an out-of-bounds write vulnerability when handling crafted PDF files. This could result in a write past the end of an allocated memory structure, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. This vulnerability requires user interaction to exploit.

Adobe Illustrator versiones 24.2 (y anteriores) está afectada por una vulnerabilidad de escritura fuera de límites al manejar archivos PDF creados. Esto podría resultar en una escritura más allá del final de una estructura de memoria asignada, resultando potencialmente en una ejecución de código arbitraria en el contexto del usuario actual. Esta vulnerabilidad requiere una interacción del usuario para su explotación

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Adobe Illustrator. 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 PDF 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 structure. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
