Descriptions

Multiple off-by-one errors in libavcodec/vorbisdec.c in FFmpeg before 2.4.2, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Vorbis I data.

Múltiples errores de superación de límite (off-by-one) en libavcodec/vorbisdec.c en FFmpeg anterior a 2.4.2, utilizado en Google Chrome anterior a 40.0.2214.91, permiten a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (uso después de liberación) o posiblemente tener orto impacto no especificados a través de datos Vorbis I manipulados.

Several memory corruption bugs were discovered in ICU. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via renderer crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. A use-after-free was discovered in the IndexedDB implementation. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
