CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:

DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe Illustrator, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to input validation errors in
PNG.8BI and BMP.8BI when processing PNG and BMP image files. These
can be exploited to cause heap-based buffer overflows when e.g.
opening a specially crafted .PNG or .BMP file.

This is similar to:
SA25023
SA25044

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in Adobe Illustrator CS3. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches (see the vendor's advisory for details).
