Does this matter?

EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 16.3%, higher than 97% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.

Description

The Microsoft Java implementation, as used in Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to read restricted process memory, cause a denial of service (crash), and possibly execute arbitrary code via the getNativeServices function, which creates an instance of the com.ms.awt.peer.INativeServices (INativeServices) class, whose methods do not verify the memory addresses that are passed as parameters.
