DNG SDK <1.7.1_2502: OOB Read Memory Exposure
CVE-2026-34616 Published on August 27, 2026
DNG SDK | Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125)
DNG SDK versions 1.7.1 2502 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead to memory exposure. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to disclose sensitive information from memory. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2026-34616 is exploitable with local system access, requires user interaction. This vulnerability is considered to have a low attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to have a high impact on confidentiality, with no impact on integrity and availability.
Weakness Type
Out-of-bounds Read
The software reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Typically, this can allow attackers to read sensitive information from other memory locations or cause a crash. A crash can occur when the code reads a variable amount of data and assumes that a sentinel exists to stop the read operation, such as a NUL in a string. The expected sentinel might not be located in the out-of-bounds memory, causing excessive data to be read, leading to a segmentation fault or a buffer overflow. The software may modify an index or perform pointer arithmetic that references a memory location that is outside of the boundaries of the buffer. A subsequent read operation then produces undefined or unexpected results.
Affected Versions
Adobe DNG Software Development Kit (SDK):- Before and including 1.7.1.2502 is affected.
- Version 1.7.1.2536 is unaffected.
