| Detailed Description |
A version of Adobe Reader which is older than 8.1.2 has been installed on the host. Adobe Reader versions prior to 8.1.2 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by multiple vulnerabilities in the PDF file viewer. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by constructing a malicious Web page that could potentially allow an attacker to save a file on the user's system if a user visited a malicious Web site or viewed a malicious e-mail message. An attacker who successfully exploited the most severe of these vulnerabilities could execute arbitrary code on the affected host.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
