CVE-2021-40729
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC version 21.007.20095 (and earlier), 21.007.20096 (and earlier), 20.004.30015 (and earlier), and 17.011.30202 (and earlier) is affected by a out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (4.28%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
