Adobe Media Encoder version 15.2 (and earlier) is affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass mitigations such as ASLR. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

The version of Adobe Media Encoder installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 15.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the APSB21-43 advisory.

  - Adobe Media Encoder version 15.2 (and earlier) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability when     parsing a specially crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve     arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user     interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-36015)
