CVE-2017-16368 (GCVE-0-2017-16368)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2017-12-09 06:00 – Updated: 2025-05-06 14:55
VLAI?
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. This vulnerability leads to a stack-based buffer overflow condition in the internal Unicode string manipulation module. It is triggered by an invalid PDF file, where a crafted Unicode string causes an out of bounds memory access of a stack allocated buffer, due to improper checks when manipulating an offset of a pointer to the buffer. Attackers can exploit the vulnerability and achieve arbitrary code execution if they can effectively control the accessible memory.

This vulnerability leads to a stack-based buffer overflow condition in the internal Unicode string manipulation module. It is triggered by an invalid PDF file, where a crafted Unicode string causes an out of bounds memory access of a stack allocated buffer, due to improper checks when manipulating an offset of a pointer to the buffer. Attackers can exploit the vulnerability and achieve arbitrary code execution if they can effectively control the accessible memory.\"},{\"lang\":\"es\",\"value\":\"Se ha descubierto un problema en Adobe Acrobat y Reader: 2017.012.20098 y versiones anteriores, 2017.011.30066 y versiones anteriores, 2015.006.30355 y versiones anteriores y 11.0.22 y versiones anteriores. La vulnerabilidad conduce a un desbordamiento de b\u00fafer basado en pila en el m\u00f3dulo de manipulaci\u00f3n de cadenas Unicode internas. Se desencadena por medio de un archivo PDF inv\u00e1lido, en el que una cadena Unicode manipulada provoca un acceso a la memoria fuera de l\u00edmites de un b\u00fafer asignado a la pila.
