Exploitability

CWE

KEV

CWE ID	Description
CWE-190	The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an Integer Overflow or Wraparound issue in Adobe Bridge that could allow arbitrary code execution. It requires user interaction, meaning a victim must open a malicious file to trigger the exploit.

Detection Guidance
