7) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-16453)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to unspecified error, related to implemented security restrictions. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted PDF file, trick the victim into opening it and execute arbitrary code on the system with privileges of the current user.


8) Insecure DLL loading (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-16444)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to the application loads DLL libraries in an insecure manner. A remote attacker can place a specially crafted .dll file on a remote SMB fileshare, trick the victim into opening a file, associated with the vulnerable application, and execute arbitrary code on victim's system.


9) Untrusted Pointer Dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-16463)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to untrusted pointer dereference when processing PDF content. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted PDF file, trick the victim into opening it and execute arbitrary code on the target system with privileges of the current user.

10) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-16459)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing PDF content. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted PDF file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.


11) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-16452)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing PDF content. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted PDF file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
