Description
The issue is related to a memory corruption vulnerability in the image conversion engine when processing Enhanced Metafile Format (EMF) data related to line segments. This could lead to arbitrary code execution. A memory corruption vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat and Reader also allows attackers to obtain sensitive information.
Recommendations
For Adobe Acrobat Reader version 11.0.20 and earlier, update to a version later than 11.0.20 to resolve the issue.
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.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the image conversion engine when processing EMF data until a patch is available. Restrict access to the
ImageConversion module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the EMF parsing functionality in the affected Adobe Acrobat Pro DC until the issue is resolved.Fix
