Description Vasyl Kaigorodov 2015-01-27 10:43:42 UTC

Following vulnerability was discovered on the 2.4 stable series of WebKitGTK+:

CVE-2014-1731
 core/html/HTMLSelectElement.cpp in the DOM implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 34.0.1847.131 on Windows and OS X and before 34.0.1847.132 on Linux, does not properly check renderer state upon a focus event, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that leverage "type confusion" for SELECT elements.
