GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

CVE-2017-16410 (GCVE-0-2017-16410)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2017-12-09 06:00 – Updated: 2024-08-05 20:27

Summary
An issue was discovered in Adobe Acrobat and Reader: 2017.012.20098 and earlier versions, 2017.011.30066 and earlier versions, 2015.006.30355 and earlier versions, and 11.0.22 and earlier versions. The vulnerability is a result of untrusted input that is used to calculate an array index; the calculation occurs in the image conversion module, when processing GIF files. The vulnerability leads to an operation that can write to a memory location that is outside of the memory addresses allocated for the data structure. The specific scenario leads to a write access to a memory location that does not belong to the relevant process address space.

La vulnerabilidad es el resultado de entradas no fiables que se emplean para calcular un \u00edndice de arrays: el c\u00e1lculo ocurre en el m\u00f3dulo de conversi\u00f3n de imagen al procesar archivos GIF. La vulnerabilidad conduce a una operaci\u00f3n que puede escribir en una ubicaci\u00f3n de memoria fuera de las direcciones de memoria asignadas para la estructura de datos. Este escenario espec\u00edfico conduce a un acceso de escritura a una ubicaci\u00f3n de memoria que no pertenece al espacio de direcciones de proceso relevante.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV30\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.0\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H\",\"baseScore\":8.8,\"baseSeverity\":\"HIGH\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"NONE\",\"userInteraction\":\"REQUIRED\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":2.8,\"impactScore\":5.9}],\"cvssMetricV2\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"2.0\",\"vectorString\":\"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C\",\"baseScore\":9.3,\"accessVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"accessComplexity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"authentication\":\"NONE\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"COMPLETE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"COMPLETE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"COMPLETE\"},\"baseSeverity\":\"HIGH\",\"exploitabilityScore\":8.6,\"impactScore\":10.0,\"acInsufInfo\":false,\"obtainAllPrivilege\":false,\"obtainUserPrivilege\":false,\"obtainOtherPrivilege\":false,\"userInteractionRequired\":true}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-129\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:adobe:acrobat:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionEndIncluding\":\"11.0.22\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"43C26AAA-3620-4229-AEFC-78AB3B2AAACF\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:adobe:acrobat:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"17.0\",\"versionEndIncluding\":\"17.011.30066\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"2AD1E919-28D9-4C88-B8F9-95E062E9F9D0\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:adobe:acrobat_dc:*:*:*:*:continuous:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"-\",\"versionEndIncluding\":\"17.012.20098\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"43E90FF1-8078-4B18-A492-507E6129D10D\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:adobe:acrobat_dc:*:*:*:*:classic:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"15.0\",\"versionEndIncluding\":\"15.006.30355\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"E45BE50E-04BE-49BE-8AFD-DFFAE6D11538\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:adobe:acrobat_reader:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionEndIncluding\":\"11.0.22\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"FA8E1E9D-FE27-4916-9BB3-D3E92BBB5641\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:adobe:acrobat_reader:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"17.0\",\"versionEndIncluding\":\"17.011.30066\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"9346604B-ADB0-471B-9F81-8560E3F516AA\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:adobe:acrobat_reader_dc:*:*:*:*:continuous:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"-\",\"versionEndIncluding\":\"17.012.20098\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"2A50612A-DC1B-4F64-BF9F-748A15EC6610\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:adobe:acrobat_reader_dc:*:*:*:*:classic:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"15.0\",\"versionEndIncluding\":\"15.006.30355\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"394E8F26-2B1C-47ED-85F9-32BC5E04EC3A\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/101819\",\"source\":\"psirt@adobe.com\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\",\"VDB Entry\"]},{\"url\":\"http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1039791\",\"source\":\"psirt@adobe.com\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\",\"VDB Entry\"]},{\"url\":\"https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/acrobat/apsb17-36.html\",\"source\":\"psirt@adobe.com\",\"tags\":[\"Broken Link\"]},{\"url\":\"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/101819\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\",\"VDB Entry\"]},{\"url\":\"http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1039791\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\",\"VDB Entry\"]},{\"url\":\"https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/acrobat/apsb17-36.html\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Broken Link\"]}]}}"
