Acrobat Reader versions 24.001.30225, 20.005.30748, 25.001.20428 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when parsing a crafted file, which could result in a read past the end of an allocated memory structure. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code 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 macOS host is a version prior to 20.005.30763 or 25.001.20432. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - Access of Uninitialized Pointer (CWE-824) potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2025-27158,     CVE-2025-27162)

  - Use After Free (CWE-416) potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2025-27159, CVE-2025-27160,     CVE-2025-27174)

  - Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125) potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2025-24431,     CVE-2025-27161)

  - Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125) potentially leading to Memory Leak (CVE-2025-27163, CVE-2025-27164)

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