CVE-2024-30276
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAudition versions 24.2, 23.6.4 and earlier Answer: are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass mitigations such as ASLR. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceAdobe Audition contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that allows disclosure of sensitive memory contents when processing a specially crafted malicious file. This memory disclosure can be leveraged by attackers to defeat address space layout randomization (ASLR) security mitigations, potentially paving the way for more sophisticated follow-on exploits.
