CVE-2014-1725

Publication date 9 April 2014

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The base64DecodeInternal function in wtf/text/Base64.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 34.0.1847.116, does not properly handle string data composed exclusively of whitespace characters, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a window.atob method call.
