CVE-2018-11396
ephy-session.c in libephymain.so in GNOME Web (aka Epiphany) through 3.28.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via JavaScript code that triggers access to a NULL URL, as demonstrated by a crafted window.open call.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.49%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
