CVE-2017-16365
HighSummary
An issue exists in Adobe Acrobat and Reader related to a buffer over-read in the True Type2 Font parsing module. A corrupted cmap table input leads to computations that point to locations outside valid memory areas, potentially allowing an attacker to obtain sensitive information.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may be at risk of leaking sensitive data, such as object heap addresses, which could lead to further attacks or system compromises.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Adobe Acrobat and Reader to the latest version to mitigate the risks associated with this vulnerability.

Original NVD description (English source)
An issue was discovered in Adobe Acrobat and Reader: 2017.012.20098 and earlier versions, 2017.011.30066 and earlier versions, 2015.006.30355 and earlier versions, and 11.0.22 and earlier versions. The vulnerability is caused by a buffer over-read in the True Type2 Font parsing module. A corrupted cmap table input leads to a computation where the pointer arithmetic results in a location outside valid memory locations belonging to the buffer. An attack can be used to obtain sensitive information, such as object heap addresses, etc.
