Adobe Indesign 2024 PCT File Parsing Memory Corruption Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

CVE-2024-39393

Summary

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in Adobe InDesign Desktop versions ID19.4 and ID18.5.2 and earlier. This vulnerability is triggered when InDesign processes a specially crafted file, leading to the potential for reading beyond the allocated memory bounds. This flaw presents a risk wherein an attacker could potentially execute arbitrary code within the context of the user who opens the compromised file. Notably, successful exploitation necessitates user interaction, as the victim must inadvertently open the malicious file, underscoring the critical importance of cautious file handling practices.
