CVE-2024-49510

Memory disclosure via crafted file out-of-bounds read

Published Nov 12, 2024 · Updated Nov 13, 2024

Out-of-bounds read in Adobe InDesign 18.5.3 and 19.5 and earlier allows attackers to disclose sensitive memory through a malicious file. InDesign's document-processing code reads beyond an allocated memory boundary while opening crafted file data; Adobe has not disclosed the affected parser or file structure. A victim must open the file, and the resulting disclosure can reveal sensitive memory and aid bypass of address-space layout randomization.
