Denial of service vulnerability in WebKit in Google Chrome via a crafted text element in an SVG document (dpkg)ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:22714 | 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 a denial of service vulnerability. A flaw is present in the rendering/svg/RenderSVGText.cpp in WebCore in WebKit, which does not properly perform a cast of an unspecified variable during an attempt to handle a block child. Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact.
