Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Google Chrome 17.0.963.83 (Web Browser). This affects some unknown processing of the component WebGL Canvas Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The WebGL implementation in Google Chrome before 17.0.963.83 does not properly handle CANVAS elements, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.

The weakness was shared 03/21/2012 by Ben Vanik (PinkiePie) with Google as 116637 (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at code.google.com. The vendor cooperated in the coordination of the public release. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2011-3052 since 08/09/2011. The exploitability is told to be difficult. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a private exploit is available. The pricing for an exploit might be around USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 03/22/2021). It is expected to see the exploit prices for this product increasing in the near future.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 58438 (FreeBSD : chromium -- multiple vulnerabilities (330106da-7406-11e1-a1d7-00262d5ed8ee)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
