Technical details

Multiple out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities (CWE-787) exist in Adobe Media Encoder's media file parsing, allowing arbitrary code execution when processing a malicious file. The attack vector is local with user interaction required (the victim must open a crafted media file). A successful exploit grants the attacker code execution in the context of the current user; fixes are available in versions 27.0 and 26.5.3.
