Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Illustrator versions 26.5.1 and earlier Adobe Illustrator versions 27.0 and earlier

Description The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read in memory, which could allow an attacker to disclose sensitive information using a specially crafted file. This vulnerability can be exploited to bypass certain mitigations, such as Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR). Exploitation requires user interaction, where a victim must open a malicious file.

Recommendations For Adobe Illustrator versions 26.5.1 and earlier, update to a version later than 26.5.1 to resolve the issue. For Adobe Illustrator versions 27.0 and earlier, update to a version later than 27.0 to resolve the issue.
