Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 22.003.20282 (and earlier), 22.003.20281 (and earlier) and 20.005.30418 (and earlier) are affected by a Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote Windows host is a version prior to 20.005.30436 or 22.003.20310. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 22.002.20212 (and earlier) and 20.005.30381 (and earlier) are affected by a     Use After Free vulnerability that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. An attacker could leverage     this vulnerability to bypass mitigations such as ASLR. Exploitation of this issue requires user     interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2022-38437)

  - Integer Overflow or Wraparound (CWE-190) potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2023-21579)

  - Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125) potentially leading to Memory Leak (CVE-2023-21581, CVE-2023-21585)

  - NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476) potentially leading to Application denial-of-service (CVE-2023-21586)

  - Stack-based Buffer Overflow (CWE-121) potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2023-21604,     CVE-2023-21610)

  - Heap-based Buffer Overflow (CWE-122) potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2023-21605)

  - Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787) potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2023-21606,     CVE-2023-21609)

  - Improper Input Validation (CWE-20) potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2023-21607)

  - Use After Free (CWE-416) potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2023-21608)

  - Violation of Secure Design Principles (CWE-657) potentially leading to Privilege escalation     (CVE-2023-21611, CVE-2023-21612)

  - Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125) potentially leading to Memory leak (CVE-2023-21613, CVE-2023-21614)

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