BDU FSTEC
The vulnerability of PDF viewing and editing programs such as Acrobat DC, Acrobat Reader DC, Acrobat 2024, Acrobat 2020, and Acrobat Reader 2020 lies in the handling of annotations within memory. This allows attackers to execute arbitrary code.

BDU FSTEC
The vulnerabilities of PDF viewing and editing programs such as Acrobat DC, Acrobat Reader DC, Acrobat 2024, Acrobat 2020, and Acrobat Reader 2020 are related to the use of an insecure search path, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code.
