Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 23.006.20360 and earlier Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 20.005.30524 and earlier

Description The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. This vulnerability can be leveraged by an attacker to bypass mitigations such as ASLR. Exploitation requires user interaction, where a victim must open a malicious file. The vulnerability allows attackers to memory leak, potentially giving access to confidential information.

Recommendations For versions 23.006.20360 and earlier, update to a version later than 23.006.20360 to resolve the issue. For versions 20.005.30524 and earlier, update to a version later than 20.005.30524 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader to open files from untrusted sources until a patch is available.
