Comment 5 Tomas Hoger 2018-03-14 11:52:25 UTC

The Google blog post referenced in comment 0 was updated and no longer mentions this CVE.  It now lists different CVE for this issue instead:

[$5000][758848] High CVE-2017-11215: Use after free in Flash. Reported by JieZeng of Tencent Zhanlu Lab on 2017-08-25

The CVE-2017-11215 is for Adobe Flash Player and it was previously covered by Adobe Security Bulletin APSB17-33, released on Nov14, 2017:

Note that the chromium-browser packages as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Supplementary do not bundle Adobe Flash Player and can not be affected by any Flash issues.
