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

Description The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read that could lead to the disclosure of sensitive memory. This could allow an attacker to bypass mitigations such as ASLR. Exploitation requires user interaction, where a victim must open a malicious file, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

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 opening of files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
