Analysis Summary

CVE-2021-36015

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Adobe Media Encoder. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of PNG files.
