Heap-based buffer overflow in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x before 10.1.13 and 11.x before 11.0.10 on Windows and OS X allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-8457 and CVE-2014-8460.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a memory corruption flaw in older Adobe Reader and Acrobat. On Windows or OS X, vulnerable 10.x and 11.x versions could let an attacker run code through unspecified input handling. The provided sources do not show active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy endpoints still running Adobe Reader or Acrobat 10.x or 11.x below the fixed versions, especially Windows and OS X systems able to open untrusted PDF content. Prioritize remediation where legacy Adobe Reader or Acrobat remains in use. This is older software, but arbitrary code execution in document readers can carry business risk when users handle external files. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Reader or Acrobat 10.x to 10.1.13 or later.; Upgrade Reader or Acrobat 11.x to 11.0.10 or later.; Review Adobe APSB14-28 for vendor-specific update guidance..
