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 RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The UnacceleratedImageBufferSurface class in WebKit/Source/platform/graphics/UnacceleratedImageBufferSurface.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 48.0.2564.82, mishandles the initialization mode, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory via a crafted web site.
