Sensitive-memory disclosure via malicious-file out-of-bounds read
Published Jul 12, 2023 · Updated Mar 5, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in Adobe InDesign ID18.3 and earlier and ID17.4.1 and earlier allows attackers to disclose sensitive memory via a malicious file. Adobe has not published the affected parser or the malformed file element that causes the read beyond its intended memory boundary. Exploitation requires a victim to open the file; the disclosed memory can expose data and help bypass ASLR, with no reported write or code-execution impact.
