Synopsis
The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote Windows host is a version prior to 2017.011.30199, 2020.004.30006, or 2021.005.20058. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.- Acrobat Reader DC versions 2021.005.20054 (and earlier), 2020.004.30005 (and earlier) and 2017.011.30197 (and earlier) are affected by an Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to disclose arbitrary memory information in the context of the current user.
Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
