Descriptions

Use-after-free vulnerability in the OpenPDFInReaderView::Update function in browser/ui/views/location_bar/open_pdf_in_reader_view.cc in Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76 might allow user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering interaction with a PDFium "Open PDF in Reader" button that has an invalid tab association.

Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación en la función OpenPDFInReaderView::Update en browser/ui/views/location_bar/open_pdf_in_reader_view.cc en Google Chrome anterior a 41.0.2272.76 podría permitir a atacantes remotos asistidos por usuario causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria dinámica) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado mediante la provocación de la interacción con un botón de ' PDF abierto en Reader' de PDFium que tiene una asociación de pestaña inválida.

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.
