Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Acrobat versions 2019.010.20069 and earlier Adobe Acrobat versions 2017.011.30113 and earlier Adobe Acrobat versions 2015.006.30464 and earlier Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 2019.010.20069 and earlier Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 2017.011.30113 and earlier Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 2015.006.30464 and earlier

Description The issue is related to a use-after-free vulnerability, which could lead to arbitrary code execution when successfully exploited. This can be achieved by using a specially crafted PDF file, allowing a remote attacker to execute code in the context of the current user.

Recommendations For Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2019.010.20069 and earlier, update to a version later than 2019.010.20069 to resolve the issue. For Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2017.011.30113 and earlier, update to a version later than 2017.011.30113 to resolve the issue. For Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2015.006.30464 and earlier, update to a version later than 2015.006.30464 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of specially crafted PDF files that could trigger the use-after-free vulnerability until a patch is available.
