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 an untrusted pointer dereference in the XPS parsing module, allowing an attack to result in sensitive data exposure. This occurs when the input is crafted to cause computation results in pointers to memory locations outside the relevant process address space, leading to a read operation. Additionally, an out-of-bounds read vulnerability allows attackers to execute code remotely.

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