CVE-2016-9894
A buffer overflow in SkiaGl caused when a GrGLBuffer is truncated during allocation.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.97%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
A buffer overflow in SkiaGl caused when a GrGLBuffer is truncated during allocation. Later writers will overflow the buffer, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50.1.
