Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. The MediaElementAudioSourceNode::process function in modules/webaudio/MediaElementAudioSourceNode.cpp in the Web Audio API implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.90, allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and obtain sensitive audio sample values via a crafted web site containing a media element.
