  - Acrobat Reader DC version 21.007.20099 (and earlier), 20.004.30017 (and earlier) and 17.011.30204 (and     earlier) are affected by an Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer vulnerability that could lead to     application denial-of-service. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must     open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-44712)

  - Acrobat Reader DC version 21.007.20099 (and earlier), 20.004.30017 (and earlier) and 17.011.30204 (and     earlier) are affected by a use-after-free vulnerability in the processing of Format event actions that     could result in application denial of service. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in     that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-44713)

  - Acrobat Reader DC version 21.007.20099 (and earlier), 20.004.30017 (and earlier) and 17.011.30204 (and     earlier) are affected by a Violation of Secure Design Principles that could lead to a Security feature     bypass. Acrobat Reader DC displays a warning message when a user clicks on a PDF file, which could be used     by an attacker to mislead the user. In affected versions, this warning message does not include custom     protocols when used by the sender. User interaction is required to abuse this vulnerability as they would     need to click 'allow' on the warning message of a malicious file. (CVE-2021-44714)

  - Acrobat Reader DC version 21.007.20099 (and earlier), 20.004.30017 (and earlier) and 17.011.30204 (and     earlier) are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when parsing a crafted file, which could     result in a read past the end of an allocated memory structure.
