Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 23.003.20244 (and earlier) and 20.005.30467 (and earlier) are affected by an out-of-bounds read 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.

The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote macOS host is a version prior to 20.005.30514.10514 or 23.003.20269. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - Improper Access Control (CWE-284) potentially leading to Security feature bypass (CVE-2023-29320)

  - Improper Input Validation (CWE-20) potentially leading to Application denial-of-service (CVE-2023-29299)

  - Use After Free (CWE-416) potentially leading to Memory leak (CVE-2023-29303, CVE-2023-38238,     CVE-2023-38243)

  - Use After Free (CWE-416) potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2023-38222, CVE-2023-38224,     CVE-2023-38225, CVE-2023-38227, CVE-2023-38228)

  - Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125) potentially leading to Memory Leak (CVE-2023-38229, CVE-2023-38232,     CVE-2023-38235)

  - Use After Free (CWE-416) potentially leading to Memory Leak (CVE-2023-38230)

  - Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787) potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2023-38231,     CVE-2023-38233)

  - Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125) potentially leading to Memory leak (CVE-2023-38236, CVE-2023-38237,     CVE-2023-38239, CVE-2023-38240, CVE-2023-38241, CVE-2023-38242, CVE-2023-38244, CVE-2023-38247,     CVE-2023-38248)

  - Improper Input Validation (CWE-20) potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2023-38245)

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