Sensitive-memory disclosure via malicious file
Published Sep 13, 2024 · Updated Sep 13, 2024
Out-of-bounds read in Adobe Media Encoder 24.5 and 23.6.8 and earlier allows attackers to disclose sensitive memory via a malicious file. Adobe has not published the affected parser, file format, or operation that reads beyond an allocated memory boundary. Exploitation requires a victim to open the file, and the disclosed memory can reveal addresses that weaken ASLR.
