This flaw is a classic memory corruption weakness classified as CWE\u2011416 and also as CWE\u2011825.

The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Chromium rates the problem as high severity, with a CVSS score of 9.6, suggesting that, if the attack succeeds, the attacker may cause memory corruption and potential system compromise, depending on privileges and sandbox mitigations.
