CVE-2018-4883
Status: ModifiedMedium (6.5)—
An issue was discovered in Adobe Acrobat Reader 2018.009.20050 and earlier versions, 2017.011.30070 and earlier versions, 2015.006.30394 and earlier versions. This vulnerability occurs because of computation that reads data that is past the end of the target buffer; the computation is part of the image conversion engine that handles Enhanced Metafile Format (EMF). A successful attack can lead to sensitive data exposure.
