Title: Adobe Reader and Acrobat JBIG 'Pattern Dictionary' Remote Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Adobe Reader and Acrobat are applications for handling PDF files.

The applications are prone to a remote heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because they fail to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. Specifically, the software fails to properly validate integer values read from the 'Pattern Dictionary' section of a JBIG segment embedded in a PDF file.

An attacker can exploit this issue by tricking a victim into opening a malicious file to execute arbitrary code and to cause denial-of-service conditions.

NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 35274 (Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.1.1 and Prior Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own record to better document it.
