CVE-2015-1227: Google Chrome

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 1.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The DragImage::create function in platform/DragImage.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76, does not initialize memory for image drawing, which allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact by triggering a failed image decoding, as demonstrated by an image for which the default orientation cannot be used.

Affected products

• Google Chrome: up to and including 40.0.2214.115
