    descriptionThe version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote Mac OS X host is a version prior to 11.0.14, 15.006.30119, or 15.010.20056. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - Multiple use-after-free errors exist that allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0932, CVE-2016-0934, CVE-2016-0937, CVE-2016-0940, CVE-2016-0941) - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0931, CVE-2016-0933, CVE-2016-0936, CVE-2016-0938, CVE-2016-0939, CVE-2016-0942, CVE-2016-0944, CVE-2016-0945, CVE-2016-0946) - Multiple double-free errors exist that allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0935, CVE-2016-1111) - A flaw exists in the Global JavaScript API that allows a remote attacker to bypass restrictions and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0943) - A flaw exists in the download manager related to the directory search path used to find resources. A remote attacker can exploit this execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0947) Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application
