Descriptions
gpu/blink/webgraphicscontext3d_impl.cc in the WebGL implementation in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.90 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted WebGL program that triggers a state inconsistency.
gpu/blink/webgraphicscontext3d_impl.cc en la implementación WebGL en Google Chrome anterior a 42.0.2311.90 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de rango) a través de un programa WebGL manipulado que provoca una inconsistencia de estado.
Chromium is an open-source web browser, powered by WebKit. Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause Chromium to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Chromium. All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Chromium version 42.0.2311.90, which corrects these issues. After installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
