Descriptions

Adobe Bridge version 11.1 (and earlier) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability due to insecure handling of a malicious Bridge file, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability.

Adobe Bridge versiones 11.1 (y anteriores), está afectada por una vulnerabilidad de corrupción de memoria debido a un manejo no seguro de un archivo Bridge malicioso, resultando potencialmente en una ejecución de código arbitrario en el contexto del usuario actual. Es requerida una interacción del usuario para explotar esta vulnerabilidad

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Adobe Bridge. 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 memory corruption condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
