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 due to a computation that accesses a pointer that has not been initialized, occurring during internal AST thread manipulation. This allows a computation to define a read from an unexpected memory location, potentially enabling an attacker to read sensitive portions of memory. Additionally, this vulnerability may allow attackers to execute code remotely.

Recommendations For versions 2017.012.20098 and earlier, update to a version later than 2017.012.20098. For versions 2017.011.30066 and earlier, update to a version later than 2017.011.30066. For versions 2015.006.30355 and earlier, update to a version later than 2015.006.30355. For versions 11.0.22 and earlier, update to a version later than 11.0.22.
