Adobe Photoshop version 22.1 (and earlier) is affected by a heap buffer overflow vulnerability when handling a specially crafted font file. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
