Descriptions

platform/fonts/shaping/HarfBuzzShaper.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 43.0.2357.65, does not initialize a certain width field, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Unicode text.

platform/fonts/shaping/HarfBuzzShaper.cpp en Blink, utilizado en Google Chrome anterior a 43.0.2357.65, no inicializa cierto campo de anchura, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de texto Unicode manipulado.

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.
