| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
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 caused by a heap buffer overflow in the image conversion engine, related to internal scan line representation in TIFF files. This can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability is exploitable due to the improper handling of TIFF file conversions, which can lead to a buffer overflow in memory.
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 disabling the image conversion engine for TIFF files until a patch is available. Restrict access to the vulnerable
image conversion module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the TIFF file format in the affected Adobe Acrobat Reader until the issue is resolved.Fix
