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 is also related to an out-of-bounds read information disclosure in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC during JPEG parsing.
