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 processes a malicious file, leading to memory corruption. An attacker can exploit this by tricking a user into opening a specifically crafted file, potentially achieving arbitrary code execution within the security context of the logged-in user. The attack vector is local, requiring user interaction (UI:R). Adobe has addressed this in versions 15.1.5 and 16.0.3.
