Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) exists in Adobe Media Encoder versions 26.2.2 and 25.6.5 and earlier. The vulnerability is triggered when the application processes a specially crafted file, leading to memory corruption. An attacker can leverage this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user. This is a local attack vector requiring user interaction (UI:R). The issue is resolved in versions 26.3 and 25.6.6.
