Synopsis

The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote macOS host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote macOS host is a version prior or equal to 2017.011.30180, 2020.001.30010, or 2020.013.20066. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 - Acrobat Reader DC versions 2020.013.20066 (and earlier), 2020.001.30010 (and earlier) and 2017.011.30180 (and earlier) are affected by an information exposure vulnerability, that could enable an attacker to get a DNS interaction and track if the user has opened or closed a PDF file when loaded from the filesystem without a prompt. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2020-29075)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Acrobat version 2017.011.30180 / 2020.001.30010 / 2020.013.20066 or later.
