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 computation that writes data past the end of the intended buffer, which is part of the functionality that handles font encodings. This is a result of an out of range pointer offset used to access sub-elements of an internal data structure. An attacker can potentially leverage this to corrupt sensitive data or execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability also allows 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.
