Adobe Photoshop CVE-2012-4170 Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Adobe Photoshop is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data.

Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Successful exploits will compromise the affected application and possibly the underlying computer. Failed exploit attempts may cause a denial-of-service condition.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 (13.0) is vulnerable.
