The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200412-12 (Adobe Acrobat Reader: Buffer overflow vulnerability)
A buffer overflow has been discovered in the email processing of Adobe Acrobat Reader. This flaw exists in the mailListIsPdf function, which checks if the input file is an email message containing a PDF file.
Impact :
A remote attacker could send the victim a specially crafted email and PDF attachment, which would trigger the buffer overflow and possibly lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
