# Security digest: August 11, 2020

1 editorial brief.

## Take stock

- Check exposure: Adobe Acrobat CVE-2020-9715: 2020 Use-After-Free in KEV . Organizations with Acrobat or Reader installs that do not auto-update, especially the old Classic 2015, 2017 and 2020 tracks, VDI or kiosk images, and machines where updates were disabled.
- None of it touches your stack? Then there is nothing to do today. That is a result, not a failure to read carefully.
