CVE-2011-0596: Input Validation

Published Feb 10, 2011

Updated

The Bitmap parsing component in 2d.dll in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x before 10.0.1, 9.x before 9.4.2, and 8.x before 8.2.6 on Windows and Mac OS X allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an image with crafted (1) height and (2) width values for an RLE8 compressed bitmap, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0598, CVE-2011-0599, and CVE-2011-0602.
