Adobe Acrobat Reader DC version 21.007.20095 (and earlier), 21.007.20096 (and earlier), 20.004.30015 (and earlier), and 17.011.30202 (and earlier) is affected by an out-of-bounds write vulnerability when parsing a crafted JPEG2000 file, which 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.

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote Windows host is a version prior to 17.011.30204, 20.004.30017, or 21.007.20099. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must     open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-40728)

  - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC version 21.007.20095 (and earlier), 21.007.20096 (and earlier), 20.004.30015 (and     earlier), and 17.011.30202 (and earlier) is affected by a out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead     to disclosure of sensitive memory. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass mitigations     such as ASLR. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious     PDF file. (CVE-2021-40729)

  - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC version 21.007.20095 (and earlier), 21.007.20096 (and earlier), 20.004.30015 (and     earlier), and 17.011.30202 (and earlier) is affected by a use-after-free that allow a remote attacker to     disclose sensitive information on affected installations of of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. User interaction     is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a     malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of JPG2000 images. (CVE-2021-40730)

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