Adobe Acrobat and Reader JpxDecode code execution
| acrobat-reader-jpxdecode-code-exec (55553) |  High Risk |
Description:
Adobe Acrobat and Reader could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a sign extension error when handling a Jp2c stream of a JpxDecode data stream embedded within a PDF document. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted PDF file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code on the system.
