CVE-2017-16385
HighSummary
A vulnerability exists in Adobe Acrobat and Reader related to improper buffer access during TIFF parsing in XPS conversion. Crafted TIFF image input can lead to a mismatch between allocated buffer size and allowed access, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution.
Risk Assessment
This vulnerability poses a risk of arbitrary code execution by an attacker who can control accessible memory, potentially leading to serious security breaches within the organization.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Adobe Acrobat and Reader to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, access to the application should be restricted to minimize the risk of exploitation.

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 in TIFF parsing during XPS conversion. 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.
