Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Acrobat versions prior to 15.020.20042 Adobe Acrobat Reader versions prior to 15.020.20042 Adobe Acrobat versions 11.0.18 and earlier Adobe Reader versions 15.006.30244 and earlier

Description The issue is caused by a heap buffer overflow when parsing TIFF image files, which could lead to arbitrary code execution. This allows a remote attacker to execute code by exploiting the vulnerability in the programs.

Recommendations For Adobe Acrobat versions prior to 15.020.20042, update to a version later than 15.020.20042. For Adobe Acrobat Reader versions prior to 15.020.20042, update to a version later than 15.020.20042. For Adobe Acrobat versions 11.0.18 and earlier, update to a version later than 11.0.18. For Adobe Reader versions 15.006.30244 and earlier, update to a version later than 15.006.30244. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of TIFF image files in Adobe Acrobat and Reader until a patch is available.
