Memory disclosure via out-of-bounds file parsing
Published Dec 18, 2024 · Updated Dec 19, 2024
Out-of-bounds read in Adobe Acrobat Reader 22.001.20085 and earlier allows attackers to disclose memory through a crafted file. The file parser reads past the end of an allocated memory structure while processing attacker-controlled file content. Exploitation requires a victim to open the file and can expose memory used to bypass ASLR, with no reported integrity or availability impact.
