CVE-2012-4248
The Amazon Kindle Touch before 5.1.2 does not properly restrict access to the libkindleplugin.so NPAPI plugin interface, which might allow remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via vectors involving the (1) dev.log, (2) lipc.set, (3) lipc.get,…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.49%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
