CVE-2012-5144
Google Chrome before 23.0.1271.97, and Libav 0.7.x before 0.7.7 and 0.8.x before 0.8.5, do not properly perform AAC decoding, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.38%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
