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 · unedited
Audition versions 25.2, 24.6.3 and earlier are affected by an Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer vulnerability that could result in application denial-of-service. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to crash the application or disrupt its functionality. 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 · moderate confidence

Adobe Audition versions 25.2, 24.6.3 and earlier contain an out-of-bounds memory access vulnerability in the file parsing functionality. When processing a specially crafted malicious file, the application reads memory beyond the allocated buffer boundary, causing denial-of-service via application crash or functional disruption.

MitigationApply the Adobe security patch when available. Until then, refrain from opening audio files from untrusted or unknown sources, as exploitation requires user interaction to open the malicious file.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed Adobe Audition version
    On Windows: Open Audition and go to Help > About Adobe Audition, or check the Windows registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Audition for the Version key. On macOS: Right-click the Audition application in Applications folder and select Get Info to view the version number.
    Affected if The detected version is 25.0, 25.1, 25.2, 24.6.3, or any earlier version below 24.6.7
  2. Compare version against affected ranges
    Cross-reference your installed version with the affected ranges: versions 24.6.7 and later are patched, versions 25.3 and later are patched. Versions 24.6.3 and earlier, and versions 25.0 through 25.2 are vulnerable.
    Affected if Your installed version is less than 24.6.7 OR is 25.0, 25.1, or 25.2 (any version >= 25.0 but < 25.3)
  3. Review recent file activity
    Check your recently opened files in Audition or system file access logs. The vulnerability is triggered when Audition parses a specially crafted malicious audio file.
    Affected if You have opened audio files from untrusted or unknown sources while running a vulnerable version of Adobe Audition

You are affected if Adobe Audition is installed at a version lower than 24.6.7, or at version 25.0, 25.1, or 25.2.
