Descriptions

common/partial_circular_buffer.cc in Google Chrome before 43.0.2357.65 does not properly handle wraps, which allows remote attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via vectors that trigger a write operation with a large amount of data, related to the PartialCircularBuffer::Write and PartialCircularBuffer::DoWrite functions.

common/partial_circular_buffer.cc en Google Chrome anterior a 43.0.2357.65 no maneja correctamente los envoltorios, lo que permite a atacantes remotos evadir un mecanismo de protección de sandbox o causar una denegación de servicio (escritura fuera de rango) a través de vectores que provocan una operación de escritura con una cantidad grande de datos, relacionado con las funciones PartialCircularBuffer::Write y PartialCircularBuffer::DoWrite.

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 43.0.2357.65, which corrects these issues. After installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
