The stack trace and context are nearly identical. It is possible that this is an unfixed variant of the previous vulnerability. - Reproduces on Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (2019.012.20040) on Windows 10, with and without PageHeap enabled (more cleanly with PageHeap, though). - The crash occurs immediately after opening the PDF document, and is caused by an attempt to write data at a negative offset relative to a heap allocation (-690332 in the above case). - Attached samples: poc[1-4].pdf (crashing files).
