  - Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 23.006.20360 (and earlier) and 20.005.30524 (and earlier) are affected by an     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 file. (CVE-2023-44339, CVE-2023-44340, CVE-2023-44348,     CVE-2023-44356, CVE-2023-44357, CVE-2023-44358, CVE-2023-44360)
