CVE-2015-7178

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—

The ProgramBinary::linkAttributes function in libGLES in ANGLE, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 41.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.3 on Windows, mishandles shader access, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via crafted (1) OpenGL or (2) WebGL content.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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).
