Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Acrobat versions prior to 22.001.20142 Adobe Reader versions prior to 22.001.20142 Adobe Reader versions prior to 20.005.30334

Description The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to bypass mitigations such as ASLR. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction, where a victim must open a malicious file. The vulnerability is associated with a buffer overflow in memory, which may allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to protected information.

Recommendations For Adobe Acrobat versions prior to 22.001.20142, update to a version later than 22.001.20142 to resolve the issue. For Adobe Reader versions prior to 22.001.20142, update to a version later than 22.001.20142 to resolve the issue. For Adobe Reader versions prior to 20.005.30334, update to a version later than 20.005.30334 to resolve the issue.
