The host is installed with Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76 and is prone to an use-after-free vulnerability. A flaw is present in the GIFImageReader::parseData function in platform/image-decoders/gif/GIFImageReader.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome, which fails to properly handle a crafted frame size in a GIF image. Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact.
