The host is installed with Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76 and is prone to an integer overflow vulnerability. A flaw is present in the SkMallocPixelRef::NewAllocate function in core/SkMallocPixelRef.cpp in Skia, as used in Google Chrome, which fails to properly handle vectors that trigger an attempted allocation of a large amount of memory during WebGL rendering. Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact.
