Description
The issue is related to a memory corruption vulnerability in the image conversion engine when processing Enhanced Metafile Format (EMF) data, specifically block transfer of pixels. This could lead to arbitrary code execution. A memory corruption vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat and Reader also allows attackers to obtain sensitive information.

For Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 2015.006.30306 and earlier, update to a version later than 2015.006.30306 to resolve the issue.
For Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 2017.008.30051 and earlier, update to a version later than 2017.008.30051 to resolve the issue.
For Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 2017.009.20058 and earlier, update to a version later than 2017.009.20058 to resolve the issue.
