CVE-2017-5044
Heap buffer overflow in filter processing in Skia in Google Chrome prior to 57.0.2987.98 for Mac, Windows, and Linux and 57.0.2987.108 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 (2.21%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
