Descriptions

Adobe InCopy version 17.3 (and earlier) and 16.4.2 (and earlier) are affected by a Heap-based Buffer Overflow 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 file.

Adobe InCopy versiones 17.3 (y anteriores) y 16.4.2 (y anteriores), están afectadas por una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento del búfer en la región Heap de la memoria que podría resultar en una ejecución de código arbitrario en el contexto del usuario actual. Es requerida una interacción del usuario para explotar este problema, ya que la víctima debe abrir un archivo malicioso

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Adobe InCopy. 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 SVG files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
