CVE-2012-2868
Race condition in Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.89 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors involving improper interaction between worker processes and an XMLHttpRequest (aka XHR) object.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.95%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
