Descriptions

The getHiddenProperty function in bindings/core/v8/V8EventListenerList.h in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76, has a name conflict with the AudioContext class, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via JavaScript code that adds an AudioContext event listener and triggers "type confusion."

La función getHiddenProperty en bindings/core/v8/V8EventListenerList.h en Blink, utilizado en Google Chrome anterior a 41.0.2272.76, tiene un conflicto de nombres con la clase AudioContext, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de código JavaScript que añade un oyente de eventos AudioContext y provoca una 'confusión de tipos.'

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Google Chrome. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within findOrCreateWrapper. By manipulating a document's elements, an attacker can force a type confusion error while adding an event listener. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
