CVE-2014-1725: Google Chrome

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 1.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The base64DecodeInternal function in wtf/text/Base64.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 34.0.1847.116, does not properly handle string data composed exclusively of whitespace characters, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a window.atob method call.

Affected products

  • Google Chrome: up to and including 34.0.1847.115
