Code execution via malicious-file stack overflow
Published Dec 10, 2024 · Updated Dec 17, 2024
Stack-based buffer overflow in Adobe InDesign 19.5 and earlier and 18.5.4 and earlier allows attackers to execute code via a malicious file. Adobe identifies a stack-based overflow but has not disclosed the affected parser, memory copy, or malformed file field that exceeds the stack buffer. Execution occurs as the current user and requires the victim to open the crafted file; no network service exposure or privilege escalation is reported.
