Technical details

A heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) exists in Adobe Illustrator versions 29.8.6, 30.3 and earlier. The vulnerability is triggered when the application improperly handles memory during the parsing of a specially crafted file. An attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user by convincing a victim to open a malicious document. The attack vector is local (file-based) and requires user interaction. Adobe has addressed this in updated versions of the software.
