Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 15.020.20042 and earlier, 15.006.30244 and earlier, 11.0.18 and earlier have an exploitable use after free vulnerability in the XFA engine, related to sub-form functionality.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.78%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
