CVE-2014-7944  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-125  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 chromium-browser to version 0:40.0.2214.91-1.el6_6 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream chromium-browser package and not the chromium-browser package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The sycc422_to_rgb function in fxcodec/codec/fx_codec_jpx_opj.cpp in PDFium, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, does not properly handle odd values of image width, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted PDF document.
