Descriptions

Google Chrome before 43.0.2357.65 relies on libvpx code that was not built with an appropriate --size-limit value, which allows remote attackers to trigger a negative value for a size field, and consequently cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact, via a crafted frame size in VP9 video data.

Google Chrome anterior a 43.0.2357.65 depende de código libvpx que no fue construido con un valor --size-limit apropiado, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar un valor negativo para un campo tamaño, y como consecuencia causar una denegación de servicio o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado, a través de un tamaño Frame en datos de vídeo VP9.

Several security issues were discovered in the DOM implementation in Blink. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to bypass Same Origin Policy restrictions. A use-after-free was discovered in the WebAudio implementation in Chromium. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via renderer crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the sandboxed render process. Various other issues were also addressed.
