Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2016-1064 is a memory corruption flaw in Adobe Reader and Acrobat on Windows and OS X. Affected versions could let an attacker run code or crash the application. Business risk is concentrated on endpoints still running legacy Adobe Reader or Acrobat builds below the fixed versions named by Adobe. Organizations are exposed if Windows or OS X endpoints still have Adobe Reader or Acrobat versions older than the fixed builds. Modern patched or replaced installations are unlikely to be affected based on the source bundle. Treat this as a high-priority legacy software exposure. It is old, but arbitrary code execution in a common document reader remains material where outdated Adobe installations persist. Mitigation focus: Update Adobe Reader and Acrobat to the fixed versions or later.; Use Adobe APSB16-14 as the authoritative vendor remediation reference.; Remove or replace unsupported legacy Adobe Reader and Acrobat installations..
