CVE-2024-41868: 
Adobe Audition vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Adobe Audition versions 24.4.1, 23.6.6 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CVE-2024-41868) that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. The vulnerability was discovered and reported through Adobe's public bug bounty program. When exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to bypass security mitigations such as ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization). However, exploitation requires user interaction, specifically opening a malicious file (Adobe Advisory).

The vulnerability is classified as an out-of-bounds read issue (CWE-125) affecting Adobe Audition. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 5.5 (Medium) with the following vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N. This indicates that the vulnerability requires local access and user interaction, has no privileges required, and can result in high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact (NVD).

The vulnerability could lead to the disclosure of sensitive memory contents and potentially allow attackers to bypass security mitigations such as ASLR. This could expose sensitive information and weaken the system's security posture (CIS Advisory).

Adobe has released security updates to address this vulnerability. Users should update to Adobe Audition version 23.6.9 or later. The update is available through the Adobe Download Center. Organizations are advised to apply the stable channel update provided by Adobe to vulnerable systems immediately after appropriate testing (Adobe Advisory).
