CVE-2015-1228: Canonical Ubuntu Linux

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

The RenderCounter::updateCounter function in core/rendering/RenderCounter.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76, does not force a relayout operation and consequently does not initialize memory for a data structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) token sequence.

Affected products

• Canonical Ubuntu Linux: version 14.04 only; version 14.10 only
• Google Chrome: up to and including 40.0.2214.115
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Supplementary: version 6.0 only
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server: version 6.0 only
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Supplementary Eus: version 6.6.z only
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Supplementary: version 6.0 only
