ZDI-CAN-21688: Adobe Audition MP4 File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Read Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Adobe Audition version 24.0 (and earlier) and 23.6.1 (and earlier) are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when parsing a crafted file, which could result in a read past the end of an allocated memory structure. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
