What is CVE-2017-16368?

This vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat and Reader, discovered in various versions, results from a stack-based buffer overflow in the internal Unicode string processing component. It occurs when maliciously crafted PDF files exploit improper checks on pointer offsets. This can lead to out-of-bounds memory access, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected systems if they manage to control the memory accessed during the manipulation.
