The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote Windows host is a version prior to 20.005.30655 or 24.002.21005. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - Acrobat Reader versions 20.005.30636, 24.002.20965, 24.002.20964, 24.001.30123 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-2024-39383, CVE-2024-39422, CVE-2024-39424, CVE-2024-41830, CVE-2024-41831)

  - Acrobat Reader versions 20.005.30636, 24.002.20965, 24.002.20964, 24.001.30123 and earlier are affected by     an out-of-bounds write 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-2024-39423)

  - Acrobat Reader versions 20.005.30636, 24.002.20965, 24.002.20964, 24.001.30123 and earlier are affected by     a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition vulnerability that could lead to privilege escalation.
    Exploitation of this issue require local low-privilege access to the affected system and attack complexity     is high. (CVE-2024-39425)

  - Acrobat Reader versions 20.005.30636, 24.002.20965, 24.002.20964, 24.001.30123 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-2024-39426)

  - Acrobat Reader versions 20.005.30636, 24.002.21005, 24.001.30159, 20.005.30655, 24.002.20965,     24.002.20964, 24.001.30123, 24.003.20054 and earlier are affected by a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU)     Race Condition vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability arises when     the timing of actions changes the state of a resource between the checking of a condition and the use of     the resource, allowing an attacker to manipulate the resource in a harmful way. Exploitation of this issue     requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2024-39420)

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