CVE-2024-39378
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 24.4.1, 23.6.6 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds write vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. 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 write vulnerability in its file parsing logic. When a user opens a specially crafted malicious file, the application writes data beyond allocated memory boundaries, enabling arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.
