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 when parsing a specially crafted file, which could allow an unauthenticated attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation 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 until a patch is available.
