Adobe: announces bug in Acrobat & Reader but does not fix it

Adobe patched it a second time στις εφαρμογές Acrobat και Reader PDF.  Η APSB19-13 , released today, seems to completely eliminate vulnerability CVE-2019-7089, which the company tried to tackle with an update earlier this month.

As it seems, it did not succeed but today's version as claimed by the company came to close the security gap.adobe

 

In other words, the oldest Adobe update does not fully fix the problem, so all users will need to update the Acrobat and Reader applications again.

According to Symantec's Security Focus, vulnerability is the result of a boundary condition error in Reader and Acrobat, and can be used remotely by intruders.

To exploit the vulnerability exploit the vulnerability the victim will need to open in Acrobat or Reader a trapped file, which can come with either mail or drop off a . By opening the file the computer information could end up in the wrong hands.

What's the problem with the patches?

This is a data disclosure defect, which makes it less serious than vulnerabilities that make it easy to run remote code, but Adobe would have to fix it anyway.

Adobe's fix came as part of a large package of updates released on Patch Tuesday in partnership with Microsoft. The package fixed 150 CVE vulnerabilities in Flash, Acrobat, Reader, and Windows.

So Adobe has made the mistake (that is, made it known to everywhere hackers) but did not fix it. Smart?
