Descriptions

Adobe Bridge version 11.1.1 (and earlier) is affected by a double free vulnerability when parsing a crafted DCM file, which could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. This vulnerability requires user interaction to exploit.

Adobe Bridge versión 11.1.1 (y anteriores), está afectado por una vulnerabilidad de doble liberación cuando analiza un archivo DCM diseñado, lo que podría resultar en una ejecución de código arbitrario en el contexto del usuario actual. Esta vulnerabilidad requiere la interacción del usuario para ser explotada

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 DCM files. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing further free operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
