Executive brief
Adobe Bridge, a digital asset management application, is vulnerable to a security flaw that could allow an attacker to take control of a user's system. To exploit this, an attacker must trick a user into opening a specially crafted malicious file. If successful, the attacker could execute commands or access data with the same permissions as the logged-in user.
Technical details
An integer overflow or wraparound vulnerability (CWE-190) exists in Adobe Bridge versions 15.1.5, 16.0.3, and earlier. The flaw is triggered when the application processes a specially crafted file, leading to memory corruption. An attacker can leverage this to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. Exploitation requires local delivery of a malicious file and user interaction (opening the file). Adobe has released patches in versions 15.1.6 and 16.0.4 to address this issue.
