Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit in Google Chrome via a crafted JavaScript code (dpkg)ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:22712 | Date: (C)2015-01-07 (M)2023-11-16 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: unix |
The host is installed with Google Chrome before 11.0.696.65 and is prone to an use-after-free vulnerability. A flaw is present in the FrameView::calculateScrollbarModesForLayout function in page/FrameView.cpp in WebCore in WebKit, which fails to properly handle a crafted JavaScript code that calls the removeChild method during interaction with a FRAME element. Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact.
