Description A Use After Free vulnerability could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction, where a victim must open a malicious file. This vulnerability is related to the use of memory after it has been freed, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

For Adobe Acrobat 2020, Adobe Acrobat Reader 2020, Adobe Acrobat Document Cloud, and Adobe Acrobat Reader Document Cloud, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of affected features or modules until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially vulnerable components to minimize the risk of exploitation.
