Sensitive memory disclosure via PostScript parser overread
Published Aug 20, 2021 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Out-of-bounds Read in Adobe Bridge 11.0.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive memory via a crafted file. The PostScript parser reads past the end of an allocated buffer when validating attacker-supplied file data. Exploitation requires an unauthenticated attacker to supply the file and a user to open it; the demonstrated impact is memory disclosure in the current user's process, with no integrity or availability effect reported.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=unspecified <=11.0.2
