This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Reader DC. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the handling of JPEG2000 images. A specially crafted JPEG2000 image embedded inside a PDF can force Adobe Reader DC to read memory past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process.
