Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Reader versions (affected versions not specified) Adobe Acrobat versions (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is caused by a buffer overflow, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption). A memory corruption vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat and Reader enables attackers to execute code. The vulnerability may also lead to an out-of-bounds read information disclosure.

Recommendations For Adobe Reader, update to a version that fixes the buffer overflow issue. For Adobe Acrobat, apply the necessary patch to resolve the memory corruption vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of JPEG2000 files in Adobe Reader DC to minimize the risk of exploitation.
