Acrobat Reader DC versions 2020.012.20048 (and earlier), 2020.001.30005 (and earlier) and 2017.011.30175 (and earlier) for macOS are affected by a security feature bypass that could result in dynamic library code injection by the Adobe Reader process. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote macOS host is a version prior to 2017.011.30180, 2020.001.30010, or 2020.013.20064. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - Acrobat Reader DC versions 2020.012.20048 (and earlier), 2020.001.30005 (and earlier) and 2017.011.30175     (and earlier) are affected by a use-after-free vulnerability in the processing of Format event actions     that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this     issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2020-24437)

  - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC versions 2020.012.20048 (and earlier), 2020.001.30005 (and earlier) and     2017.011.30175 (and earlier) are affected by a local privilege escalation vulnerability that could enable     a user without administrator privileges to delete arbitrary files and potentially execute arbitrary code     as SYSTEM. Exploitation of this issue requires an attacker to socially engineer a victim, or the attacker     must already have some access to the environment. (CVE-2020-24433)

  - Acrobat Reader DC versions 2020.012.20048 (and earlier), 2020.001.30005 (and earlier) and 2017.011.30175     (and earlier) are affected by a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the submitForm function,     potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation     requires user interaction in that a victim must open a crafted .pdf file in Acrobat Reader.
    (CVE-2020-24435)

  - Acrobat Reader DC versions 2020.012.20048 (and earlier), 2020.001.30005 (and earlier) and 2017.011.30175     (and earlier) and Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2017.011.30175 (and earlier) are affected by an improper input     validation vulnerability that could result in arbitrary JavaScript execution in the context of the current     user. To exploit this issue, an attacker must acquire and then modify a certified PDF document that is     trusted by the victim. The attacker then needs to convince the victim to open the document.
    (CVE-2020-24432)

  - Acrobat Reader DC for macOS versions 2020.012.20048 (and earlier), 2020.001.30005 (and earlier) and     2017.011.30175 (and earlier) are affected by a security feature bypass. While the practical security     impact is minimal, a defense-in-depth fix has been implemented to further harden the Adobe Reader update     process. (CVE-2020-24439)
