The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote host is earlier than 8.1.3. Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
There is a publicly-published denial of service issue (CVE-2008-2549).
A stack-based buffer overflow when parsing format strings containing a floating point specifier in the ‘util.printf()’ JavaScript function may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2008-2992).
Multiple input validation errors could lead to code execution (CVE-2008-4812).
Multiple input validation issues could lead to remote code execution. (CVE-2008-4813)
A heap corruption vulnerability in an AcroJS function available to scripting code inside of a PDF document could lead to remote code execution. (CVE-2008-4817)
An input validation issue in the Download Manager used by Adobe Reader could lead to remote code execution during the download process (CVE-2008-5364).
An issue in the Download Manager used by Adobe Reader could lead to a user’s Internet Security options being changed during the download process (CVE-2008-4816).
An input validation issue in a JavaScript method could lead to remote code execution (CVE-2008-4814).
