Adobe Framemaker versions 2019 Update 8 (and earlier) and 2020 Release Update 2 (and earlier) are affected by a use-after-free vulnerability in the processing of a malformed PDF file that could result in disclosure of sensitive memory. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious PDF file.
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
