Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2017-03-07 04:54:04 UTC 
Using SVG filters that don't use the fixed point math implementation on a target iframe, a malicious page can extract pixel values from a targeted user. This can be used to extract history information and read text values across domains. This violates same-origin policy and leads to information disclosure.
