Description The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read, which could lead to information disclosure if successfully exploited. This occurs due to a vulnerability in the EMF and EMR COMMENT parsing.

Recommendations For Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2018.011.20038 and earlier, update to a version later than 2018.011.20038. For Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2017.011.30079 and earlier, update to a version later than 2017.011.30079. For Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2015.006.30417 and earlier, update to a version later than 2015.006.30417.
