CVE-2017-16419
An issue was discovered in Adobe Acrobat and Reader: 2017.012.20098 and earlier versions, 2017.011.30066 and earlier versions, 2015.006.30355 and earlier versions, and 11.0.22 and earlier versions.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (6.81%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
