Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2018.011.20040 and earlier Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2017.011.30080 and earlier Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2015.006.30418 and earlier

Description The issue is related to Buffer Errors, which could lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. A stack-based buffer overflow in EMF parsing is also mentioned, allowing remote code execution. Attackers can exploit this to execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations For versions 2018.011.20040 and earlier, update to a version later than 2018.011.20040 to resolve the issue. For versions 2017.011.30080 and earlier, update to a version later than 2017.011.30080 to resolve the issue. For versions 2015.006.30418 and earlier, update to a version later than 2015.006.30418 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the EMF parsing function until a patch is available.
