Adobe has patched the same vulnerability for the second time in Acrobat and Reader PDF. Version 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.
In other words, the older Adobe update does not completely 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 a trapped file in Acrobat or Reader, which can either come via email or download from a page. By opening the file the computer information could end up in the wrong hands.
What's the problem with the two patches?
This is a data disclosure flaw, which makes it less serious than the vulnerabilities that facilitate remote code execution, but Adobe had to patch it anyway.
Adobe's fix came as part of a large package of updates released in Patch Tuesday in collaboration with Microsoft. The package fixed 150 CVE vulnerabilities in Flash, Acrobat, Reader, Office and Windows.
So Adobe has made the mistake (that is, made it known to everywhere hackers) but did not fix it. Smart?
