Description
The issue is related to a NULL Pointer Dereference, which could allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause an application denial-of-service in the context of the current user. Exploitation requires user interaction, such as opening a malicious file, and can lead to a denial-of-service.
Recommendations
For Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 22.002.20212 and earlier, update to a version later than 22.002.20212 to resolve the issue.
For Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 20.005.30381 and earlier, update to a version later than 20.005.30381 to resolve the issue.
For Adobe Acrobat 2020 and Adobe Acrobat Reader 2020, consider disabling the handling of malicious PDF files until a patch is available.
As a temporary workaround, avoid opening suspicious or untrusted PDF files with the affected Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions until the issue is resolved.
