Adobe Acrobat Reader versions 15.020.20042 and earlier, 15.006.30244 and earlier, 11.0.18 and earlier have an exploitable buffer overflow / underflow vulnerability in the image conversion module related to parsing tags in TIFF files.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.84%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
