Adobe Animate version 20.5 (and earlier) is affected by a stack overflow vulnerability, which could lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation requires user interaction in that a victim must open a crafted .fla file in Animate.
A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
