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
Acrobat Reader versions 24.001.30235, 20.005.30763, 25.001.20521 and earlier 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 confidence

Adobe Acrobat Reader contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that allows reading memory beyond allocated boundaries. This can expose sensitive memory contents including memory addresses, potentially enabling bypass of ASLR. Exploitation requires a victim to open a malicious PDF file.

MitigationUpdate Adobe Acrobat Reader to a version newer than 24.001.30235, 20.005.30763, or 25.001.20521. Advise users to avoid opening PDF files from untrusted sources.

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. Verify Adobe Acrobat or Reader is installed
    Check the installed programs list in Windows Control Panel, or use the command 'wmic product get name,version' or check the Help > About menu in the application
    Affected if Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader is present on the system
  2. Determine the installed version number
    Open Adobe Acrobat or Reader, then go to Help > About Adobe Acrobat (or Reader) to display the exact version number
    Affected if The displayed version falls within any of the affected ranges: 20.0 to 20.005.30773, 24.0.0 to 24.001.30253, or any version below 25.001.20529 (or 25.001.20531 depending on update track)
  3. Compare installed version to affected ranges
    Note the full version string (for example, 24.001.30235 or 20.005.30763) and verify whether it is less than the fixed versions: 20.005.30774, 24.001.30254, or 25.001.20529 (or 25.001.20531)
    Affected if The installed version is lower than the fixed versions listed in the affected products ranges
  4. Identify the update channel or track
    Check if the installation is from the Continuous track (DC) or the Classic track by examining the version number format - Continuous versions use format like 25.001.xxxxx while Classic uses formats like 20.005.xxxxx or 24.001.xxxxx
    Affected if The version matches the Continuous or Classic track patterns and falls below the fixed version for that specific track

The system is affected if Adobe Acrobat or Reader is installed with a version number that falls below 20.005.30774 (Classic 20.x), 24.001.30254 (Classic 24.x), or 25.001.20529/20531 (Continuous), and the user might open PDF files from untrusted sources.

Update Adobe Acrobat Reader to a version newer than 24.001.30235, 20.005.30763, or 25.001.20521. Advise users to avoid opening PDF files from untrusted sources.

Recommended fix High confidence

Adobe Acrobat/Reader DC: 25.001.20531+ | Acrobat/Reader 2024: 24.001.30254+ | Acrobat/Reader 2020: 20.005.30774+

  1. 1. Identify the installed Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader version from the Help > About menu
  2. 2. For Adobe Acrobat/Reader DC (continuous track): upgrade to version 25.001.20531 or later
  3. 3. For Adobe Acrobat/Reader 2024 (classic track): upgrade to version 24.001.30254 or later
  4. 4. For Adobe Acrobat/Reader 2020 (classic track): upgrade to version 20.005.30774 or later
  5. 5. Download the appropriate fixed version from the official Adobe website at get.adobe.com/reader or get.adobe.com/acrobat
  6. 6. Install the update and restart the application
  7. 7. Verify the installed version matches or exceeds the fixed version for your track
Caveat Upgrades within the same major version should be low-risk; however, ensure compatibility with any existing PDF workflows or plugins before deploying enterprise-wide
