ASLR bypass via out-of-bounds parser read
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, exposing data that can reveal address-space layout. Continuous, 2020, and 2017 tracks are affected; exploitation requires a user to open the malicious file.
