CVE-2017-16384
HighSummary
An issue exists in Adobe Acrobat and Reader related to a buffer over-read in the exif processing module for a PNG file during XPS conversion. Invalid input leads to computations that point to memory locations outside the valid buffer areas.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, such as object heap addresses. This could lead to data disclosure, posing a serious security threat to the organization.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Adobe Acrobat and Reader to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, monitor and restrict access to PNG files that may be processed by these applications.

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 exif processing module for a PNG file (during XPS conversion). Invalid input leads to a computation where 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.
