Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Variations in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed an attacker in a privileged network position to potentially exploit heap corruption via malicious network traffic.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.18%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
