CVE-2024-41879

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Acrobat Reader versions 127.0.2651.105 and earlier

Description The issue is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction, as the victim must open a malicious file. This vulnerability is related to a buffer overflow in memory, which can be triggered by a specially crafted malicious PDF file.

Recommendations For versions 127.0.2651.105 and earlier, update to a version later than 127.0.2651.105 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader to open files from untrusted sources until a patch is available. Restrict access to malicious PDF files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
