This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code 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 parsing of XObject images. A specially crafted XObject image embedded in a PDF file can force a dangling pointer to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process.
