Vulnerability CVE-2017-16363

Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2017-16363 (CCN-134718)

Assigned:

2017-11-14

Published:

2017-11-14

Updated:

2019-10-03

Summary:

An issue was discovered in Adobe Acrobat and Reader: 2017.012.20098 and earlier versions, 2017.011.30066 and earlier versions, 2015.006.30355 and earlier versions, and 11.0.22 and earlier versions. The vulnerability is caused by a buffer over-read in the module that handles character codes for certain textual representations. Invalid input leads to a computation where the pointer arithmetic results in a location outside valid memory locations belonging to the buffer. An attack can be used to obtain sensitive information, such as object heap addresses, etc.
