CVE-2017-5014
Heap buffer overflow during image processing in Skia in Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 for Android, allowed a remote attacker to perform an out of bounds memory read via a crafted HTML page.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.36%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
