Description Murray McAllister 2014-01-29 05:17:52 UTC 
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2013-6650 to
the following vulnerability:

Name: CVE-2013-6650
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-6650
Assigned: 20131105
Reference: http://crbug.com/331444
Reference: http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2014/01/stable-channel-update_27.html
Reference: https://code.google.com/p/v8/source/detail?r=18483

The StoreBuffer::ExemptPopularPages function in store-buffer.cc in
Google V8 before 3.22.24.16, as used in Google Chrome before
32.0.1700.102, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via
vectors that trigger incorrect handling of "popular pages."

Comment 3 Murray McAllister 2014-01-29 06:44:56 UTC
