Adobe Media Encoder version 15.2 (and earlier) is affected by an uninitialized pointer vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to read arbitrary file system information in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.
The product accesses or uses a pointer that has not been initialized.
