Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 11.0.19 and earlier, 15.006.30280 and earlier, 15.023.20070 and earlier have an exploitable memory corruption vulnerability when manipulating PDF annotations. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution.

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is a version prior to 11.0.20, 2015.006.30306, 2017.009.20044. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple use-after-free errors exists that allow an     attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-3014,     CVE-2017-3026, CVE-2017-3027, CVE-2017-3035,     CVE-2017-3047, CVE-2017-3057)

  - Multiple heap buffer overflow conditions exist that     allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-3042, CVE-2017-3048, CVE-2017-3049,     CVE-2017-3055)

  - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an     attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-3015,     CVE-2017-3017, CVE-2017-3018, CVE-2017-3019,     CVE-2017-3023, CVE-2017-3024, CVE-2017-3025,     CVE-2017-3028, CVE-2017-3030, CVE-2017-3036,     CVE-2017-3037, CVE-2017-3038, CVE-2017-3039,     CVE-2017-3040, CVE-2017-3041, CVE-2017-3044,     CVE-2017-3050, CVE-2017-3051, CVE-2017-3054,     CVE-2017-3056, CVE-2017-3065)

  - Multiple integer overflow conditions exist that allow an     attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-3011,     CVE-2017-3034)

  - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an     an attacker to disclose memory address information.
    (CVE-2017-3020, CVE-2017-3021, CVE-2017-3022,     CVE-2017-3029, CVE-2017-3031, CVE-2017-3032,     CVE-2017-3033, CVE-2017-3043, CVE-2017-3045,     CVE-2017-3046, CVE-2017-3052, CVE-2017-3053)

  - A flaw exists due the use of an insecure directory     search path. An attacker can potentially exploit this to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-3012, CVE-2017-3013)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
