SB2026011501 - Multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe InDesign

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.

1) Access of Uninitialized Pointer (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-21275)

CWE-ID: CWE-824 - Access of Uninitialized Pointer

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling untrusted data. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file, trigger access to an uninitialized pointer and execute arbitrary code on the system.

2) Access of Uninitialized Pointer (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-21276)

CWE-ID: CWE-824 - Access of Uninitialized Pointer

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling untrusted data. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file, trigger access to an uninitialized pointer and execute arbitrary code on the system.

3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-21277)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

4) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-21304)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-21278)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
