Memory disclosure via out-of-bounds GIF read
Published Mar 18, 2024 · Updated Apr 10, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in Adobe Animate 24.0 and 23.0.3 and earlier allows attackers to disclose memory through a malicious GIF file. The GIF parser reads beyond a buffer boundary while processing malformed file data, exposing adjacent process memory. A victim must open the file in the desktop application; the disclosed memory can expose data used to defeat address-layout randomization.
