Descriptions
Use-after-free vulnerability in the SpeechRecognitionClient implementation in the Speech subsystem in Google Chrome before 43.0.2357.65 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted document.
Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación en la implementación SpeechRecognitionClient en el subsistema Speech en Google Chrome anterior a 43.0.2357.65 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un documento manipulado.
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 SpeechRecognitionClient. By manipulating a document's elements, an attacker can force a dangling pointer to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
A specially crafted web-page can cause the blink rendering engine used by Google Chrome and Chromium to continue to use a speech recognition API object after the memory block that contained the object has been freed. An attacker can force the code to read a pointer from the freed memory and use this to call a function, allowing arbitrary code execution. Google Chrome version 39.0 is affected.
