Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Acrobat Reader DC versions 22.001.20085 and earlier Adobe Acrobat Reader DC versions 20.005.3031x and earlier Adobe Acrobat Reader DC versions 17.012.30205 and earlier

Description The issue is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that 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 file. This allows attackers to memory leak.

Recommendations For versions 22.001.20085 and earlier, update to a version later than 22.001.20085 to resolve the issue. For versions 20.005.3031x and earlier, update to a version later than 20.005.3031x to resolve the issue. For versions 17.012.30205 and earlier, update to a version later than 17.012.30205 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the opening of files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
