CVE-2018-6120
An integer overflow that could lead to an attacker-controlled heap out-of-bounds write in PDFium in Google Chrome prior to 66.0.3359.170 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted PDF file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.42%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
