# Vulnerability

# Vulnerability Description
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Adobe Reader. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious PDF file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of **malformed PDF** file. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data which can result in a read past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to **execute code** in the context of the current process.
