Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 11.0.19 and earlier Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 15.006.30280 and earlier Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 15.023.20070 and earlier

Description The issue is related to a buffer overflow and memory leak when parsing the APP13 segment in JPEG files, potentially allowing a remote attacker to compromise information confidentiality. This is due to a memory address leak vulnerability in the image conversion engine. A memory corruption issue also allows attackers to cause a memory leak.

Recommendations For Adobe Acrobat Reader version 11.0.19 and earlier, update to a version later than 11.0.19 to resolve the issue. For Adobe Acrobat Reader version 15.006.30280 and earlier, update to a version later than 15.006.30280 to resolve the issue. For Adobe Acrobat Reader version 15.023.20070 and earlier, update to a version later than 15.023.20070 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the image conversion engine in Adobe Acrobat Reader until a patch is available.
