Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Audition versions 14.4 and earlier Adobe Audition versions 22.0 and earlier

Description The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Adobe Audition, which could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass mitigations such as ASLR. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction, where a victim must open a malicious MOV file. This allows a remote attacker to potentially gain unauthorized access to protected information.

Recommendations For Adobe Audition versions 14.4 and earlier, update to a version later than 14.4 to resolve the issue. For Adobe Audition versions 22.0 and earlier, update to a version later than 22.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of MOV files in Adobe Audition until a patch is available. Restrict access to malicious MOV files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
