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 GIF files. This can lead to arbitrary code execution, allowing a remote attacker to execute malicious code. The vulnerability is associated with reading beyond buffer boundaries and memory leak issues.

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 for GIF files until a patch is available.
