    the Digital Editions installer. An authenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to escalate
    privileges. User interaction is required before product installation to abuse this vulnerability.
    (CVE-2021-39828)

  - Adobe Digital Editions 4.5.11.187646 (and earlier) are affected by an arbitrary file write vulnerability
    in the Digital Editions installer. An authenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to write an
    arbitrary file to the system. User interaction is required before product installation to abuse this
    vulnerability. (CVE-2021-39827)
