CVE-2021-39849
Acrobat Reader DC versions 2021.005.20060 (and earlier), 2020.004.30006 (and earlier) and 2017.011.30199 (and earlier) are affected by a Null pointer dereference vulnerability.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.94%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
