Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x before 10.1.13 and 11.x before 11.0.10 on Windows and OS X allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-8445, CVE-2014-8446, CVE-2014-8447, CVE-2014-8456, CVE-2014-8458, CVE-2014-8461, and CVE-2014-9158.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Adobe Reader and Acrobat memory-corruption vulnerability affecting 10.x and 11.x releases on Windows and OS X. The CVE states it could let an attacker execute code or crash the application through unspecified vectors. Treat legacy installations as business risk because PDF readers commonly process untrusted documents. Exposure is most likely on endpoints or servers still running legacy Adobe Reader or Acrobat 10.x or 11.x below the fixed versions on Windows or OS X. Prioritize remediation where legacy Adobe Reader or Acrobat remains installed, especially on user workstations handling external PDFs. The public record lacks active exploitation evidence, but potential code execution makes unmanaged legacy exposure unacceptable. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Adobe Reader/Acrobat 10.x to 10.1.13 or later where still applicable.; Upgrade Adobe Reader/Acrobat 11.x to 11.0.10 or later where still applicable.; Prefer current supported Adobe Reader/Acrobat releases for legacy systems..
