Adobe Reader DC (32-bit) Crash (0xc0000005) when updated to December 23.008.2042x Planned update

Hello Adobe Community,

Curious if anyone else is observing issues with Decemeber Planned Update for Adobe Reader DC (32-bit)?

Our organization has recently updated Adobe Reader DC (32-bit) to version (23.008.20421) and now we're seeing wide spread crashes when accessing PDF forms over UNC shares.

Fortunately, the 64-bit version of Reader or the Pro version(s) do not seem to be affected. 

To replicate in our environment, a user simply needs to open a PDF on a UNC share, type information into the fields, exit & don't save. Re-open, and repeat. Usually crash will occur in about 1-5 tries.

We've rolled back some clients to the November Planned Update patch (2023.006.20380) and this problem no longer exists.

Here's the Windows Application Event log when the crash occurs:

When searching through other communitieis (ie Reddit, Stack, etc) not seeing too many recent issues with crash (0xc0000005) however they're may be a patch latency for orgs to start installing the December Planned Update.
