Technical details
A heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) exists in Adobe InDesign Desktop versions 21.3, 20.5.3 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 user to open a malicious document, leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. The attack vector is classified as local with required user interaction (AV:L/UI:R). Adobe has addressed this issue in updated versions of the software.
