Technical details
This is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Adobe Illustrator's file parsing logic. The vulnerability occurs when processing a malicious file that triggers an out-of-bounds memory access, allowing an attacker to read sensitive data from the application's memory space. Exploitation requires user interaction—specifically, a victim must open a crafted malicious file in Illustrator. The attack vector is local (file-based), and an attacker gains the ability to read and disclose sensitive memory contents. No patch status is specified in the available information.
