Status: ModifiedMedium (6.8)—
Use-after-free vulnerability in the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) DOM implementation in Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.57 on Mac OS X and Linux, and before 21.0.1180.60 on Windows and Chrome Frame, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted document.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
- Base score: 6.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.17%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 67
- Score date: 10/16/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
