Description The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Adobe After Effects, 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, in that a victim must open a malicious file.
