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 untrusted input used to calculate an array index in the image conversion module when processing GIF files. This leads to an operation that can write to a memory location outside of the allocated memory addresses for the data structure, resulting 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 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.
