| Detailed Description |
The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote Windows host is a version prior or equal to 2015.006.30394, 2017.011.30070, or 2018.009.20050. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
- The vulnerability is caused by the computation that writes data past the end of the intended buffer; the computation is part of the document identity representation. An attacker can potentially leverage the vulnerability to corrupt sensitive data or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-4901)
- This vulnerability is an instance of a use after free vulnerability in the rendering engine. The vulnerability is triggered by a crafted PDF file containing a video annotation (and corresponding media files) that is activated by the embedded JavaScript. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2018-4902)
- This vulnerability occurs as a result of computation that reads data that is past the end of the target buffer; the computation is part of the TIFF processing within the XPS module. A successful attack can lead to sensitive data exposure. (CVE-2018-4903)
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these conditions will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
