Description
A heap overflow issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. This can be achieved through successful exploitation of the vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat and Reader. The issue is related to heap-based buffer overflow remote code execution, specifically involving the
idRangeOffset and idDelta parsing in the ImageConversion XPS component.Recommendations
For Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2018.011.20040 and earlier, update to a version later than 2018.011.20040 to resolve the issue.
For Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2017.011.30080 and earlier, update to a version later than 2017.011.30080 to resolve the issue.
For Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2015.006.30418 and earlier, update to a version later than 2015.006.30418 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the ImageConversion XPS component until a patch is available. Restrict access to the
idRangeOffset and idDelta parsing functions to minimize the risk of exploitation.Fix
