Notes:

- Reproduces on Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (2019.012.20035) on Windows 10, with and without PageHeap enabled. Without PageHeap, the crash may also be triggered in ntdll!RtlReportCriticalFailure, if the system allocator detects a corrupted chunk.

- The crash is caused by a heap-based buffer overflow and occurs immediately after opening the PDF document (poc1.pdf), or with a bit of interaction (scrolling to other pages, zooming in and out) for poc2.pdf and poc3.pdf.

- We classify the bug as a potential RCE.
