CVE-2017-5032
PDFium in Google Chrome prior to 57.0.2987.98 for Windows could be made to increment off the end of a buffer, which allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted PDF file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.40%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
