Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe InDesign versions 16.4.2 and earlier Adobe InDesign versions 17.3 and earlier

Description The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when parsing a crafted file, which could result in a read past the end of an allocated memory structure. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
