An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to obtain NTLMv2 credentials. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must visit an attacker controlled web page. (CVE-2021-44702)
- Acrobat Reader DC version 21.007.20099 (and earlier), 20.004.30017 (and earlier) and 17.011.30204 (and earlier) are affected by a use-after-free vulnerability in the processing of Format event actions 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. (CVE-2021-44706, CVE-2021-45064)
- Acrobat Reader DC ActiveX Control versions 21.007.20099 (and earlier), 20.004.30017 (and earlier) and 17.011.30204 (and earlier) are affected by an Information Disclosure vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to obtain NTLMv2 credentials. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a maliciously crafted Microsoft Office file, or visit an attacker controlled web page. (CVE-2021-44739)
- Acrobat Reader DC version 21.007.20099 (and earlier), 20.004.30017 (and earlier) and 17.011.30204 (and earlier) are affected by an Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer 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-2021-45067)
- Acrobat Reader DC version 21.007.20099 (and earlier), 20.004.30017 (and earlier) and 17.011.30204 (and earlier) are affected by an out-of-bounds write 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 font file. (CVE-2022-24091, CVE-2022-24092)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
