- CVE-2016-1660High
Blink, as used in Google Chrome before version 50.0.2661.94, mishandles assertions in the WTF::BitArray and WTF::double_conversion::Vector classes. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web site.
- CVE-2016-1634High
A use-after-free vulnerability in the StyleResolver::appendCSSStyleSheet function in Blink, used in Google Chrome before version 49.0.2623.75, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted website.
- CVE-2015-1228High
The RenderCounter::updateCounter function in Blink, used in Google Chrome before version 41.0.2272.76, does not force a relayout operation, leading to uninitialized memory for a data structure. This allows remote attackers to cause application crashes or potentially other unspecified impacts via a crafted CSS token sequence.
- CVE-2015-1227High
The DragImage::create function in Blink, used in Google Chrome before version 41.0.2272.76, does not initialize memory for image drawing. This may allow remote attackers to trigger an unspecified impact by causing a failed image decoding.
