CVE-2009-2979
Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.2, 8.x before 8.1.7, and possibly 7.x through 7.1.4 do not properly perform XMP-XML entity expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted document.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.22%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
