Code execution via out-of-bounds memory write
Published Aug 26, 2024 · Updated Aug 26, 2024
Out-of-bounds write in Adobe Acrobat Reader 127.0.2651.105 and earlier allows attackers to execute code when a user opens a malicious file. The public record identifies the Adobe PDF Viewer memory write but does not disclose the affected parser, buffer, or missing bounds validation. Exploitation requires user interaction, and successful code runs only with the current user's privileges.
