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.
