    descriptionThe version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 10.1.9 or 11.0.6. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities : - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-0493, CVE-2014-0495) - A use-after-free error exists that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-0496) Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application
