  • Trigger condition is a malformed PNG file with an invalid uint32 CRC checksum, causing heap memory corruption — inspect PNG files for invalid CRC values in chunks before opening in Photoshop CC or Bridge CC.
  • Exploitation requires user interaction (opening a malicious file); monitor for suspicious .png file opens in Adobe Photoshop CC (≤16.1.1) and Bridge CC (≤6.1.1) processes.
  • Both PoC PNG files must be present in the same folder to trigger the vulnerability in Bridge CC — alert on co-located suspicious PNG pairs dropped to the same directory.
  • ·Affected versions are Photoshop CC 16.1.1 (2015.1.1) and earlier, and Bridge CC 6.1.1 and earlier (Windows platform); patched by Adobe in APSB16-03 released 2016-02-09.
