This vulnerability allows an attacker to leak sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Adobe Reader DC. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.The specific flaw exists within the handling of PRC files. The issue lies in the failure to validate PRC files embedded in PDF documents. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose the contents of adjacent memory. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks may cause a denial-of-service condition. The title has been changed to better reflect the vulnerability information. Adobe Reader, etc. are all products of Adobe (Adobe) in the United States. Adobe Reader is a free PDF file reader; Acrobat is a PDF file editing and conversion tool; Acrobat Reader DC is a set of tools for viewing, printing and annotating PDF
