Adobe Audition version 14.4 (and earlier) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability.

The version of Adobe Audition installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 14.4.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the APSB21-92 advisory.

  - Adobe Audition version 14.4 (and earlier) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability when parsing a     M4A file, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User     interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-40739, CVE-2021-40740)

  - Adobe Audition version 14.4 (and earlier) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability when parsing a     SVG file, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User     interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-40734)

  - Adobe Audition version 14.4 (and earlier) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability, potentially     resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User interaction is required to     exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-40735, CVE-2021-40736)

  - Adobe Audition version 14.4 (and earlier) is affected by a Null pointer dereference vulnerability when     parsing a specially crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve     an application denial-of-service in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires     user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-40737, CVE-2021-40742)

  - Adobe Audition version 14.4 (and earlier) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability when parsing a     WAV file, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User     interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-40738)

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