CVE-2022-30667
Adobe Illustrator vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

Adobe Illustrator versions 26.0.2 (and earlier) and 25.4.5 (and earlier) were affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CVE-2022-30667) that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. The vulnerability was discovered in early 2022 and was officially patched on June 14, 2022. This security flaw affects both Windows and MacOS platforms, and requires user interaction through opening a malicious file for exploitation (NVD, Fortinet).

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the decoding of CorelDraw Drawing 'CDR' files in Adobe Illustrator. Specifically, the vulnerability is caused by a malformed CDR file, which triggers an out-of-bounds memory access due to an improper bounds check. This security flaw could potentially be leveraged by attackers to bypass security mitigations such as ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) (Fortinet).

Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability can lead to unintended memory reads, potentially resulting in memory data leaks. The vulnerability could expose sensitive information stored in memory and potentially be used to bypass security mitigations (NVD, Fortinet).

Mitigation and workarounds

Adobe has released security patches to address this vulnerability. Users are strongly advised to update to the latest version of Adobe Illustrator. Additionally, Fortinet customers are protected through their IPS signature system, and FortiEDR provides detection and prevention of exploitation attempts (Adobe Security, Fortinet).
