CVE-2017-5071
Insufficient validation of untrusted input in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 59.0.3071.86 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 59.0.3071.92 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 (2.19%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
