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 arises from the use of untrusted input to calculate an array index in the printing functionality, leading to a memory access operation outside the allocated data structure memory addresses. This results in a write access to a memory location that does not belong to the relevant process address space. The vulnerability allows attackers to execute code remotely due to improper validation of array index.

Recommendations For Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2017.012.20098 and earlier, update to a version later than 2017.012.20098 to resolve the issue. For Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2017.011.30066 and earlier, update to a version later than 2017.011.30066 to resolve the issue. For Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2015.006.30355 and earlier, update to a version later than 2015.006.30355 to resolve the issue.
