    descriptionThe version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote Windows host is a version prior or equal to 2015.006.30518, 2017.011.30166, or 2020.006.20042. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities. - Null Pointer potentially leading to Application denial- of-service (CVE-2020-9610) - Heap Overflow potentially leading to Arbitrary Code Execution (CVE-2020-9612) - Race Condition potentially leading to Security feature bypass (CVE-2020-9615) - Out-of-bounds write potentially leading to Arbitrary Code Execution (CVE-2020-9594, CVE-2020-9597) - Security bypass potentially leading to Security feature bypass (CVE-2020-9592, CVE-2020-9596, CVE-2020-9613, CVE-2020-9614) - Stack exhaustion potentially leading to Application denial-of-service (CVE-2020-9611) - Out-of-bounds read potentially leading to Information disclosure (CVE-2020-9599, CVE-2020-9600, CVE-2020-9601, CVE-2020-9602, CVE-2020-9603, CVE-2020-9608, CVE-2020-9609) - Buffer error potentially leading to Arbitrary Code Execution (CVE-2020-9604, CVE-2020-9605) - Use-after-free potentially leading to Arbitrary Code Execution (CVE-2020-9606, CVE-2020-9607) - Invalid memory access potentially leading to Information disclosure (CVE-2020-9593, CVE-2020-9595, CVE-2020-9598) Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application
