Description

core/html/HTMLSelectElement.cpp in the DOM implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 34.0.1847.131 on Windows and OS X and before 34.0.1847.132 on Linux, does not properly check renderer state upon a focus event, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that leverage "type confusion" for SELECT elements.

Affected products

• Google Chrome: before 34.0.1847.131; before 34.0.1847.132 — fixed in 34.0.1847.131, 34.0.1847.132

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Google Chrome 34.0.1847.131, 34.0.1847.132. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
