An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass mitigations such as ASLR. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC versions 2020.012.20048 (and earlier), 2020.001.30005 (and earlier) and 2017.011.30175 (and earlier) are affected by a local privilege escalation vulnerability that could enable a user without administrator privileges to delete arbitrary files and potentially execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM. Exploitation of this issue requires an attacker to socially engineer a victim, or the attacker must already have some access to the environment.

Acrobat Reader DC versions 2020.012.20048 (and earlier), 2020.001.30005 (and earlier) and 2017.011.30175 (and earlier) and Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2017.011.30175 (and earlier) are affected by an improper input validation vulnerability that could result in arbitrary JavaScript execution in the context of the current user. To exploit this issue, an attacker must acquire and then modify a certified PDF document that is trusted by the victim. The attacker then needs to convince the victim to open the document.
