The version of Adobe Bridge installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 11.1.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the apsb21-94 advisory.

- Adobe Bridge version 11.1.1 (and earlier) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability due to insecure handling of a malicious PSD file, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-42730)

- Adobe Bridge version 11.1.1 (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-2021-40750)

- Adobe Bridge version 11.1.1 (and earlier) is affected by a double free vulnerability when parsing a crafted DCM file, which could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. This vulnerability requires user interaction to exploit. (CVE-2021-42533)

- Adobe Bridge version 11.1.1 (and earlier) is affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when parsing a crafted .jpe 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.
(CVE-2021-42719)
