Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.60%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

A buffer overflow occurs when drawing and validating elements with the ANGLE graphics library, used for WebGL content. This is due to an incorrect value being passed within the library during checks and results in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 56, Firefox ESR < 52.4, and Thunderbird < 52.4.
