Descriptions

Adobe InDesign version 16.4 (and earlier) is affected by an out-of-bounds write vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious JPEG2000 file.

Adobe InDesign versión 16.4 (y anteriores), está afectada por una vulnerabilidad de escritura fuera de límites que podría resultar en una ejecución de código arbitrario en el contexto del usuario actual. Es requerida una interacción de usuario para explotar este problema, ya que la víctima debe abrir un archivo JPEG2000 malicioso

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Adobe InDesign. 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 JPG2000 images. 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.
