The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote macOS host is a version prior to 2015.006.30464, 2017.011.30113, or 2019.010.20069. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  • Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2019.010.20064 and earlier, 2019.010.20064 and earlier, 2017.011.30110 and earlier version, and 2015.006.30461 and earlier have an use after free vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2018-16011)

  • Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2019.010.20064 and earlier, 2019.010.20064 and earlier, 2017.011.30110 and earlier version, and 2015.006.30461 and earlier have a security bypass vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to privilege escalation. (CVE-2018-16018)

  • Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2019.010.20064 and earlier, 2019.010.20064 and earlier, 2017.011.30110 and earlier version, and 2015.006.30461 and earlier have a type confusion vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2019-7131)

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