CVE-2016-4249
Heap-based buffer overflow in Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.366 and 19.x through 22.x before 22.0.0.209 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.632 on Linux allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.13%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
