CVE-2009-2980
Status: ModifiedHigh (9.3)—
Integer overflow in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 7.x before 7.1.4, 8.x before 8.1.7, and 9.x before 9.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
- Base score: 9.3
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 8.45%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 95
- Score date: 10/11/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
