Sensitive memory disclosure via DCM file use-after-free
Published Sep 19, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Use-after-free in Adobe Bridge 12.0.2 and earlier, including 11.1.3 and earlier, allows local users to disclose sensitive memory via a malicious DCM file. The DCM parser accesses an object after it has been freed, exposing stale memory and helping bypass ASLR. Exploitation requires a victim to open the crafted file; the record describes confidentiality impact without integrity or availability impact.
