Descriptions
The CPDF_DIBSource::CreateDecoder function in core/fpdfapi/fpdf_render/fpdf_render_loadimage.cpp in PDFium, as used in Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.63, mishandles decoder-initialization failure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted PDF document.
La función CPDF_DIBSource::CreateDecoder en core/fpdfapi/fpdf_render/fpdf_render_loadimage.cpp en PDFium, como es usada en Google Chrome en versiones anteriores a 51.0.2704.63, no maneja correctamente el fallo de inicialización del decodificador, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación del servicio (lectura fuera de límites) a través de un documento PDF manipulado.
