Other vulnerabilities in Skia
See all- CVE-2016-5168High
Skia, as used in Google Chrome before version 50.0.2661.94, allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and obtain sensitive information.
- CVE-2013-6648High
A vulnerability in Skia allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by exploiting the SkRegion::setPath function.
- CVE-2016-7395High
In Skia, used in Google Chrome before version 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92 on Linux, the return values of ChopMonoAtY calls are not properly validated. This may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service through uninitialized memory access and application crash.
- CVE-2016-1691High
Skia, as used in Google Chrome before version 51.0.2704.63, mishandles coincidence runs, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted curves.
- CVE-2015-3877High
Skia, as used in Android before version 5.1.1 LMY48T, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted media file.
- CVE-2015-1280High
In Skia, used in Google Chrome before version 44.0.2403.89, there is a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) by leveraging access to a renderer process and providing crafted serialized data.
- CVE-2015-1360High
Skia in Google Chrome before version 40.0.2214.91 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted data that is improperly handled during text drawing.
- CVE-2014-7904High
Buffer overflow in Skia, as used in Google Chrome before version 39.0.2171.65, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.
- CVE-2014-1557High
The ConvolveHorizontally function in Skia, used in Mozilla Firefox before version 31.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.7, and Thunderbird before 24.7, does not properly handle the discarding of image data during function execution. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering prolonged image scaling.
- CVE-2026-14419Critical
A use-after-free vulnerability in Skia in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.46 allows a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page.
