Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

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.


Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
