People who already upgraded to version 16 are encouraged to downgrade back to 15.0.1.

16.0.1 was just released, includes a fix for the flaw.

Haven't seen whether the ESR release was affected by this bug.

Edit: It looks like ESR was spared this bug. Hooray for ESR!

Looks like the ESR was found vulnerable to a related bug though. So long 10.0.8, I hardly knew ye.
