CVE-2016-2051
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google V8 before 4.8.271.17, as used in Google Chrome before 48.0.2564.82, allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.98%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
