An issue was discovered in Adobe Acrobat and Reader: 2017.012.20098 and earlier versions, 2017.011.30066 and earlier versions, 2015.006.30355 and earlier versions, and 11.0.22 and earlier versions. This vulnerability is an instance of a use after free vulnerability in the JavaScript engine. The mismatch between an old and a new object can provide an attacker with unintended memory access. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution.

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is a version prior to 11.0.23, 2015.006.30392, 2017.011.30068, or 2018.009.20044. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

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