Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2015-08-11 06:30:08 UTC
Security researcher Abhishek Arya (Inferno) of the Google Chrome Security Team used the Address Sanitizer tool to discover two buffer overflow issues in the Libvpx library used for WebM video when decoding a malformed WebM video file. These buffer overflows result in potentially exploitable crashes.
