Sensitive memory disclosure via out-of-bounds read
Published Dec 19, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in Adobe Illustrator 26.5.1 and earlier and 27.0 and earlier allows attackers to disclose sensitive memory via a malicious file. Adobe has not disclosed the affected file parser or the specific unchecked read that accesses memory beyond its intended buffer. Exploitation requires user interaction to open the file, and the disclosure can expose address-space data that helps bypass ASLR.
