Arbitrary code execution via out-of-bounds write
Published Dec 18, 2024 · Updated Dec 19, 2024
Out-of-bounds write in affected Adobe Acrobat Reader releases allows attackers to execute arbitrary code through a malicious file. Adobe has not disclosed the affected parser or the specific length, bounds, or memory-copy operation that writes beyond its destination. Exploitation requires a victim to open the file, and successful code runs with the current user's privileges on Windows or macOS.
