Adobe Framemaker vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Adobe Framemaker versions 2019 Update 8 (and earlier) and 2020 Release Update 2 (and earlier) were identified with a critical security vulnerability (CVE-2021-39829). The vulnerability was discovered and reported by Tran Van Khang from VinCSS, working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative. The issue was officially disclosed on August 23, 2021, affecting multiple versions of Adobe Framemaker software (Adobe Security, CVE Mitre).

The vulnerability is classified as an out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CWE-787). This type of vulnerability could potentially allow attackers to write data beyond the bounds of allocated memory buffers. The exploitation requires user interaction, specifically requiring a victim to open a malicious PDF file (NVD).

If successfully exploited, this vulnerability could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. This means an attacker could potentially execute malicious code with the same privileges as the user running the Adobe Framemaker application (CVE Mitre).

Adobe has addressed this vulnerability in their security update. Users of affected versions should update their Adobe Framemaker software to the latest version that includes the security fix (Adobe Security).
