Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Audition versions 14.4 and earlier

Description The issue is related to a Null pointer dereference vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve an application denial-of-service in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction, where a victim must open a malicious file.
