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 memory corruption vulnerability when handling a malformed PDF file, which could lead to arbitrary code execution. This is due to a buffer overflow in memory, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by accessing a specially crafted PDF file.

Recommendations For Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 11.0.19 and earlier, update to a version later than 11.0.19 to resolve the issue. For Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 15.006.30280 and earlier, update to a version later than 15.006.30280 to resolve the issue. For Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 15.023.20070 and earlier, update to a version later than 15.023.20070 to resolve the issue.
