CVE-2011-2839
The PDF implementation in Google Chrome before 13.0.782.215 on Linux does not properly use the memset library function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.34%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
