Revisions

August 29, 2017: the Solution table has been updated to reflect new updates available as of August 29.  These updates resolve a functional regression with XFA forms functionality that affected some users.  The August 29 releases also resolve security vulnerability CVE-2017-11223.  

CVE-2017-11223 was originally addressed in the August 8 updates (versions 2017.012.20093, 2017.011.30059 and 2015.006.30352), but due to a functional regression in those releases, temporary hotfixes were offered that reverted the fix for CVE-2017-11223. The August 29 releases resolve both the regression and provide a fix for CVE-2017-11223. See this blog post for more details.
