Acrobat Reader DC version 21.007.20099 (and earlier), 20.004.30017 (and earlier) and 17.011.30204 (and earlier) are affected by an Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer vulnerability that could lead to application denial-of-service. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
The product reads or writes to a buffer using an index or pointer that references a memory location after the end of the buffer.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
