Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2017.012.20098 and earlier Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2017.011.30066 and earlier Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2015.006.30355 and earlier Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 11.0.22 and earlier

Description The issue is caused by a buffer over-read in the True Type2 Font parsing module. A corrupted cmap table input leads to a computation where the pointer arithmetic results in a location outside valid memory locations belonging to the buffer. This can be used to obtain sensitive information, such as object heap addresses. Additionally, it allows attackers to execute code remotely.

For Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2017.011.30066 and earlier, update to a version later than 2017.011.30066 to resolve the issue.
