CVE-2012-5129
Heap-based buffer overflow in the WebGL subsystem in Google Chrome OS before 23.0.1271.94 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (GPU process crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.12%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
