"The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote host is earlier
than 8.1.2 or 7.1.0. Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple
vulnerabilities :
- A design error vulnerability may allow an attacker to
gain control of a user's printer.
- Multiple stack-based buffer overflows may allow an
attacker to execute arbitrary code subject to the
user's privileges.
- Insecure loading of 'Security Provider' libraries may
allow for arbitrary code execution.
- An insecure method exposed by the JavaScript library
in the 'EScript.api' plug-in allows direct control
over low-level features of the object, which allows
for execution of arbitrary code as the current user.
- Two vulnerabilities in the unpublicized function
'app.checkForUpdate()' exploited through a callback
function could lead to arbitrary code execution in
Adobe Reader 7.");
