Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Media Encoder versions 15.2 and earlier

Description The issue is caused by an Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction, where a victim must open a malicious file.

Recommendations For Adobe Media Encoder versions 15.2 and earlier, update to a version later than 15.2 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of specially crafted files that could trigger the Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability until a patch is available. Restrict access to untrusted files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
