Use-after-free vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x before 10.1.15 and 11.x before 11.0.12, Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Classic before 2015.006.30060, and Acrobat and Acrobat Reader DC Continuous before 2015.008.20082 on Windows and OS X allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-4448, CVE-2015-5095, CVE-2015-5099, CVE-2015-5111, CVE-2015-5113, and CVE-2015-5114.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a memory-safety flaw in older Adobe Reader and Acrobat versions. If successfully triggered, it could let an attacker run code on a user’s workstation. The source bundle does not show active exploitation, but the impact is serious where legacy Adobe PDF software remains installed. Exposure is most likely on endpoints still running Adobe Reader or Acrobat 10.x before 10.1.15, 11.x before 11.0.12, DC Classic before 2015.006.30060, or DC Continuous before 2015.008.20082 on Windows or OS X. Treat this as a high-priority legacy software risk. The vulnerability enables code execution in widely deployed document software, but urgency depends on whether affected Adobe versions still exist in the environment. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Adobe Reader and Acrobat to versions fixed by APSB15-15 or later.; Check Adobe APSB15-15 for vendor-specific update guidance.; Remove unsupported or unused Adobe Reader and Acrobat installations..
