The vulnerability is caused by a computation that writes data past the end of the intended buffer; the computation is part of the XPS to PDF conversion module, when processing TIFF files. The vulnerability is a result of an out of range pointer offset that is used to access sub-elements of an internal data structure. An attacker can potentially leverage the vulnerability to corrupt sensitive data or execute arbitrary code.","published":"2017-12-09T06:29:03.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T01:09:21.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"psirt@adobe.com","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":8.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-787"],"affected":["adobe/acrobat","adobe/acrobat dc","adobe/acrobat reader","adobe/acrobat reader dc"],"epss":{"score":0.11212,"percentile":0.95936,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-09-21","score":0.08473,"percentile":0.94842},{"date":"2026-09-22","score":0.11212,"percentile":0.9576}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 11.2%, higher than 96% of all known CVEs.
