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 memory corruption vulnerability in the image conversion engine, specifically when parsing JPEG files. This could lead to arbitrary code execution if successfully exploited. The vulnerability is caused by an out-of-bounds operation in memory due to the parsing of JPEG files, which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations For versions 11.0.19 and earlier, update to a version later than 11.0.19 to resolve the issue. For versions 15.006.30280 and earlier, update to a version later than 15.006.30280 to resolve the issue. For versions 15.023.20070 and earlier, update to a version later than 15.023.20070 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the image conversion engine or restricting the parsing of JPEG files until a patch is available.
