CVE-2016-4271

MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 4.55%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (4.55%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.375 and 19.x through 23.x before 23.0.0.162 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.635 on Linux allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-4277 and CVE-2016-4278, aka a "local-with-filesystem Flash sandbox bypass" issue.
