CVE-2017-16381
HighSummary
An issue was discovered in Adobe Acrobat and Reader related to buffer access with an incorrect length value when processing TIFF files embedded within an XPS document. Crafted TIFF image input can cause a mismatch between allocated buffer size and the access allowed, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.
Risk Assessment
If an attacker can adequately control the accessible memory, this vulnerability can be leveraged to achieve arbitrary code execution, posing a significant security risk to organizational systems.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Adobe Acrobat and Reader to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability and to monitor systems for unauthorized access.

- CVE-2017-16412High
A vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat and Reader allows reading data past the end of the target buffer during XPS conversion, potentially leading to sensitive data exposure.
- CVE-2017-16411High
A vulnerability exists in Adobe Acrobat and Reader that involves reading data past the end of the target buffer. This issue is related to the WebCapture module and an internal hash table implementation.
- CVE-2017-16407High
An issue was discovered in Adobe Acrobat and Reader that involves writing data past the end of the intended buffer. This vulnerability results from an out of range pointer offset, which can lead to corrupting sensitive data or executing arbitrary code.
- CVE-2017-16406High
A vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat and Reader related to improper EMF processing leads to out of bounds memory access. This can result in code corruption, control-flow hijack, or information leak.
- CVE-2017-16404High
A vulnerability exists in Adobe Acrobat and Reader that allows data to be written past the end of the intended buffer. This issue is related to processing Enhanced Metafile Format Plus (EMF+).
- CVE-2017-16401High
A vulnerability exists in Adobe Acrobat and Reader that involves reading data past the end of the target buffer during image conversion in Enhanced Metafile Format Plus (EMF +). The use of an invalid pointer offset during access to internal data structure fields causes this vulnerability.
- CVE-2017-16400High
A vulnerability exists in Adobe Acrobat and Reader due to reading data past the end of the target buffer, resulting from an error in the JPEG 2000 parser. The use of an invalid pointer offset during access to internal data structure fields causes 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 access with an incorrect length value when processing TIFF files embedded within an XPS document. Crafted TIFF image input causes a mismatch between allocated buffer size and the access allowed by the computation. If an attacker can adequately control the accessible memory then this vulnerability can be leveraged to achieve arbitrary code execution.
