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 an exploitable use after free vulnerability in the JavaScript engine's annotation-related API. This could lead to arbitrary code execution if successfully exploited. The vulnerability is associated with the use of memory after it has been freed, which can be exploited by 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 JavaScript engine's annotation-related API until a patch is available.
