A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Google Chrome up to 43.0.2357.134 (Web Browser). This affects an unknown code of the file content/browser/gpu/browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc of the component GPU Process. The manipulation of the argument GPUChannelHost
with an unknown input leads to a use after free vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-416. Referencing memory after it has been freed can cause a program to crash, use unexpected values, or execute code. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:
Use-after-free vulnerability in the GPU process implementation in Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the continued availability of a GPUChannelHost data structure during Blink shutdown, related to content/browser/gpu/browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc and content/renderer/render_thread_impl.cc.
