CVE-2017-5388
A STUN server in conjunction with a large number of "webkitRTCPeerConnection" objects can be used to send large STUN packets in a short period of time due to a lack of rate limiting being applied on e10s systems, allowing for a denial of service attack.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.64%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
