The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201201-19 (Adobe Reader: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe Reader. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF       file using Adobe Reader, possibly resulting in the remote execution of       arbitrary code, a Denial of Service, or other impact.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The Adobe Security Team reports :

An unspecified vulnerability in the U3D component allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code (or cause a denial of service attack) via unknown vectors.

A heap-based buffer overflow allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
