The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote Windows host is a version prior to 17.012.30227, 20.005.30331, or 22.001.20112. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - Adobe Acrobat Reader version 22.001.20085 (and earlier), 20.005.30314 (and earlier) and 17.012.30205 (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. An attacker could leverage this     vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user     interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2022-35672)

  - Acrobat Acrobat Pro DC version 22.001.2011x (and earlier), 20.005.3033x (and earlier) and 17.012.3022x     (and earlier) are affected by a use-after-free vulnerability 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-2022-28838)

  - Acrobat Reader DC versions 20.001.20085 (and earlier), 20.005.3031x (and earlier) and 17.012.30205 (and     earlier) are affected by a use-after-free 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 file. (CVE-2022-24101)

  - Acrobat Reader DC versions 20.001.20085 (and earlier), 20.005.3031x (and earlier) and 17.012.30205 (and     earlier) are affected by a use-after-free vulnerability 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-2022-24102, CVE-2022-24103, CVE-2022-24104)

  - Acrobat Reader DC versions 22.001.20085 (and earlier), 20.005.3031x (and earlier) and 17.012.30205 (and     earlier) are affected by a use-after-free vulnerability in the processing of fonts 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-2022-27785, CVE-2022-27786, CVE-2022-27790)
