Adobe Reader and Acrobat JBIG 'Halftone Region' Remote Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Adobe Reader and Acrobat JBIG 'Halftone Region' Remote Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Adobe Reader and Acrobat are prone to a remote heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because they fail to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit this issue by tricking a victim into opening a malicious file to execute arbitrary code and to cause denial-of-service conditions.

NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 35274 (Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.1.1 and Prior Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own record to better document it.
