Descriptions

Adobe Audition version 24.0 (and earlier) and 23.6.1 (and earlier) are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when parsing a crafted file, which could result in a read past the end of an allocated memory structure. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

Adobe Audition versión 24.0 (y anteriores) y 23.6.1 (y anteriores) se ven afectados por una vulnerabilidad de lectura fuera de los límites al analizar un archivo manipulado, lo que podría dar como resultado una lectura más allá del final de una estructura de memoria asignada. Un atacante podría aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del usuario actual. La explotación de este problema requiere la interacción del usuario, ya que la víctima debe abrir un archivo malicioso.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Adobe Audition. 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 M4A files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
