This vulnerability occurs as a result of a computation that reads data that is past the end of the target buffer; the computation is a part of the font parsing module. The use of an invalid (out-of-range) pointer offset during access of internal data structure fields causes the vulnerability. A successful attack can lead to sensitive data exposure.","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":0.08512,"percentile":0.95015,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-09-21","score":0.06318,"percentile":0.93385},{"date":"2026-09-22","score":0.08512,"percentile":0.94793}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.51%).
