Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 2018.009.20050 and earlier Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 2017.011.30070 and earlier Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 2015.006.30394 and earlier
Description The issue occurs due to computation that reads data past the end of the target buffer, which is part of the Enhanced Metafile Format processing engine within the image conversion module. This can lead to sensitive data exposure. A successful attack can also allow attackers to execute code remotely.
Recommendations For versions 2018.009.20050 and earlier, update to a version later than 2018.009.20050 to resolve the issue. For versions 2017.011.30070 and earlier, update to a version later than 2017.011.30070 to resolve the issue. For versions 2015.006.30394 and earlier, update to a version later than 2015.006.30394 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the image conversion module until a patch is available.
