Technical details

A heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) exists in Adobe Bridge versions 16.0.2, 15.1.4, and earlier. The vulnerability is triggered when the application improperly handles memory allocation while processing a specially crafted file. An attacker can exploit this by convincing a victim to open a malicious file, leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. The attack vector is local (AV:L) and requires user interaction (UI:R). Adobe has addressed this in versions 15.1.5 and 16.0.3.
