CVE-2017-16384

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2017.012.20098 and earlier Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2017.011.30066 and earlier Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2015.006.30355 and earlier Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 11.0.22 and earlier

Description The issue is caused by a buffer over-read in the exif processing module for a PNG file during XPS conversion. Invalid input leads to a computation where pointer arithmetic results in a location outside valid memory locations belonging to the buffer. This can be used to obtain sensitive information, such as object heap addresses. Additionally, it allows attackers to execute code remotely.

Recommendations For versions 2017.012.20098 and earlier, update to a version later than 2017.012.20098 to resolve the issue. For versions 2017.011.30066 and earlier, update to a version later than 2017.011.30066 to resolve the issue. For versions 2015.006.30355 and earlier, update to a version later than 2015.006.30355 to resolve the issue. For versions 11.0.22 and earlier, update to a version later than 11.0.22 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the exif processing module for PNG files during XPS conversion until a patch is available.
